Sitehound

Matthew from the company that makes Mailwasher sent me an email to let me know about their new product, an IE toolbar called Sitehound:

The SiteHound toolbar is your first line of defense against internet threats including phishing, scams, spyware, adware, security risks and viruses from rogue websites.

SiteHound is free to use, or you can upgrade to the enhanced version.

Now I don’t use IE much, and I don’t spend much time at questionable websites, so I know my machine won’t be much of a real field test, but I might try it out anyway. Anyone else want to give us a more thorough rundown? If you do, feel free to let me know if you post it somewhere, or if you want to post it here, I’ll make a post available for ya’.

It’s those extensions and add-ons…
