The first is going to be an add-on called Browser Protect . This add-on will protect your browser from a range hijacks such as home page , search engine and add-ons . It will help to keep any infections from redirecting you to a malware site . It is also useful as it provides a warning when it has blocked a hijack , meaning you are now aware of any infection/attempt to infect your computer .
The next add-on is called WOT ( Web of Trust ) . This provides ratings for every site you visit or search for in a search engine . It will provide a green circle if safe , an amber if unknown and a red if the site is dangerous . This is a community based application so you can contribute to sites rankings saying whether it is safe or not .
Block Site is the next add-on . This allows the user to add any website he or she may want to block to a list , this add-on will then not let you visit that site again . It will also block any links within other sites that may lead you back to the dangerous site . There are various lists of sites to block from spyware sites or malware sites that can be used to configure the list at first . This tool is also great as a child protection tool , as a parent can get a list of bad sites and block their child from viewing them or accidentally coming across it .
The last add-on is Bitdefender Quick scan , that allows the user run a quick scan of their machine right from the browser . If you ever think you have been infected with malware from a site , simply run this scan and it will let you know of any infections on your machine .
There are top Firefox security add-ons . All are free and easy to install with just one click of a button and will help to keep your machine secure.
