Be secure
WOT is a free program that will warn you before entering a dubious site.
WOT is a further layer of security, but not a replacement for anti virus.
Maybe you are not sure which program will suit your pc? Or you have only tried one?
Remember that not two machines are identical; what works well on one may not be optimal on another.
Try more than one before you decide - but not all at the same time as they may conflict.

Free vs. paid
Please note that "Free of charge" usually means non-commercial & home use only
(and both of these conditions should be met). A paid version is still better, if you can afford it...
