3. McAfee SiteAdvisor:
This is a free browser plugin that gives  safety advice about websites on the search results page before you  actually click on the links. After you install the SiteAdvisor plugin,  you will see a small rating icon next to each search result which will  alert you about suspecious/risky websites and help you find safer  alternatives. These ratings are derived based on various tests conducted  by McAfee.
Based on the quality of links,  SiteAdvisor may display Green, Yellow, Red or Grey icon next to the  search results. Green means that the link is completely safe, Yellow  means that there is a minor risk, Red means a mojor risk and Grey means  that the site is not yet rated. These results will guide you to Web  safety.
SiteAdvisor works on both Internet Explorer and Firefox which you can download from the following link:
