How do you know the web site you are looking at is safe? Site Advisor is a browser plug-in (IE and Firefox) that warns you if the site is less than 'squeaky clean'. Free.
SiteAdvisor plugs straight into Firefox. (Or Internet Explorer, if you still use it.) It occupies a small corner of the toolbar. As long as the SiteAdvisor icon glows green, you're in good company. When it turns red, you may be stepping in deep dross. And if it stays gray, SiteAdvisor has no opinion — which isn't a good sign, if you're about to enter account or credit card information. Click the SiteAdvisor icon, of whatever color, and the site takes you to an analysis page that tells you precisely why the site you're visiting warrants trust or caution.
