Re: Site Advisor: Helping To Decide Good\Bad Sites
Hi there,
This is Chris Dixon from SiteAdvisor. Thanks for all of your comments.
Actually, we really should have made this clearer but our data does not yet include results from exploit detection. To date, it only includes results from programs you have to click to download (127,000 of those so far...). We are testing our exploit detection in our labs now and expect to include the results in January. Sorry we didn't explain this earlier. (Based on your comment, we added an explanation of this on our feedback page).
So basically right now we believe we have very few false positives but do have some false negatives, especially when it comes to exploits. It will indeed take some time to get it perfect but we are definitely in this for the long haul and appreciate all your feedback. |
