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 all the time?
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.
