In addition to secure password storage and automatic logins, RoboForm also includes an automatic form filler, that uses Artificial Intelligence to populate common form fields (name, address etc.) whenever you encounter a web form to fill.

If SiteAdvisor has negative information for a site, you can review a detailed online report that shows any spam received from that site, a list of harmful downloads, and association with other sites. We used to be a big fan of SiteAdvisor but the results have become unreliable and often misleading and/or often outdated. While it is still a useful tool, especially for novice users, we do not recommend relying on the results without taking a good look at the detailed report page. The download includes version for Internet Explorer and Firefox.

The program will compact the data in the SQLITE databases, that is used by Firefox to store your information, without loosing any of your data.

The program works with search results from popular search engines including Google, Yahoo, Bing and others, and displays a color coded icon next to each search results to indicate whether a site contains any active threats. There are not details provided that further explain or elaborate the threats except for a generic risk category that is used to classify the site. We found it a little disturbing that AVG LinkScanner changes your browser setting by default, without explicit user permission, and redirects any HTTP error pages to a sponsored OpenDNS search page - a technique that many would consider browser hijacking, even though you can later turn off this `helpful feature` from the settings dialog.

Trustpilot is a browser add-on for Internet Explorer that aims to provide you with feedback on the reliability and trustworthiness of online shopping sites. It integrates with Google search results and the IE toolbar and shows a colored icon with pop-up information that provides you with a positive or negative site ranking. The Trustpilot ratings are based on a variety of reviews and media stories that are collected from the web and then analyzed. We found the accuracy of these ratings to be rather questionable as, for example, we were warned to avoid reputable shopping sources like Gamestop, Apple Store and Amazon.com and at the same time encouraged to purchase from YouTube (?), while most other online stores did not have any ratings at all. Trustpilot may be worth a look, but unless the rating system improves we cannot recommend the current beta version as a reliable source for shopping site ratings.
