Explanation

Item

Indication of how aggressively the site tries to get you to

go to other sites that we've flagged as red. It is a very

Online Affiliations

common practice on the Internet for suspicious sites to

have many close associations with other suspicious sites.

The primary purpose of these "feeder" sites is to get you

to visit the suspicious site. A site can receive a red warning

if, for example, it links too aggressively to other red sites.

In effect, a site can become "red by association" due to

the nature of its relationship to red flagged domains.

Common web practices that users find annoying, such as

excessive pop-ups, requests to change a user's home page,

Annoyances

or requests to add a site to the browser's favorites list.

We also list third-party cookies (sometimes known as

"tracking cookies") in this section. If a website has a lot

of pop-ups, and in particular if it engages in practices such

as popping up more windows when you try to close them,

we will give that website a red flag.

Rare but extremely dangerous security threats caused by

a website "exploiting" a browser's security vulnerability.

Exploits

The exploit can cause the user's computer to receive

programming code that can cause adware infections,

keystroke spying, and other malicious actions that can

leave a computer essentially unusable.

Reviewers and site owners can provide additional

information and commentary to supplement SiteAdvisor's

automated test results.

practices, shopping experiences and more. This input is

particularly important in helping the SiteAdvisor community

guide each other concerning e-commerce websites.

Anonymous input alone is not enough to change a site's

overall rating, but sufficient votes from registered users

can affect a site's rating.

Allows owners of analyzed websites to address our ratings.

Owners are free to comment, disagree or clarify. These

Website owner comments

comments are posted unedited after we verify the

authenticity of the person leaving the comment. We

manually review all owner comments and if an error was

made, we will try our best to promptly correct it. We don't

allow sites to pay to be rated or to change or improve their

ratings.
