Heavy web surfers usually visit 100s of new web sites daily and for the ones concerned about their PC security, it is really hard to check every website for malware and spyware.
Haute Secure is a service that detects and blocks malware for web surfers. This is much like the service offered by McAfee known as Site Advisor which checks web sites for malware and alerts the user about it. TechCrunch recently reviewed the new version of Haute Secure 2.0 and pointed out that it is better than MacAfee Site Advisor in many ways. Haute Secure detects, notifies and even blocks malware from a particular web page while Site Advisor does not block.
Haute Secure is available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer. It will even search your Google search results for potential malware and will show you the results. Along with the feature of refining search results, it also checks a website through social ratings based on Digg and Del.icio.us
It is a free solution, therefore it is recommended for every user to ensure maximum security on his/her PC.
