URL Integrity

Hello all,

I apologize in advance, but I am relatively new to this community.  I have a couple of questions regarding a few URL's listed below.  What is my best approach in using McAfee utilitize to determine if these or any other URL's are problematic or not in regards to Malware, Spyware, viruses, etc?  Any advice is welcome.

http://jobroll.indeed.com

http://dg.specificclick.net

http://ct5.addthis.com/

Thank you in advance!

Re: URL Integrity

Not sure exactly what your aim is here but I assume it's Siteadvisor/TrustedSource web reputation you are concerned about so I moved the thread here.

If the URL's are poorly rated you can appeal by contacting SiteAdvisor or using TrustedSource's online web form.

Re: URL Integrity

The question appears to be, are these sites safe? Although the inclusion of addthis could mean the poster wants to know if the company is legit (it is) and should it be allowed to track him (in my opinion No, and I use Abine's DoNotTrackMe to block trackers - including AddThis).

Best advice is to use SiteAdvisor (and TrustedSource) for primary checking, and add WOT to get a second opinion. For instance, whatever SiteAdvisor says about specificclick the site is blocked by a WOT page warning me of Very Poor ratings for the site.

The Indeed job site URL appears to be safe.
