Armando,
Thanks for the response.
It is reassuring to hear that you also feel that SiteAdvisor is not always right.
I will give pretrieve a try and see what happens.

It's as you said, I too would doubt K.K. would recommend a nasty site. As to McAf.'s site adv., it will report as dubious any website that may contain addl. links to any other sites that are indeed stinkies.

Hi gang, I hope someone in the group can help me learn a little more about safe site access. I was looking for a free public record search option. Most of the links I found lead to fee sites. I then found Pretrieve, http://www.pretrieve.com/ through a link at Kim Komando. I wouldn't' think she would recommend an unsafe site. However, when I went there McAfee SiteAdvisor (http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/pretrieve.com?ref=safe&aff_id=0) reported it not to be safe and reported: "NOTE: Site Advisor shows it as Online affiliations for pretrieve.com: Links to red site When we tested this site we found links to icerocket.com, which we found to be a distributor of downloads some people consider adware, spy ware or other unwanted programs." SiteAdvisor did not like the link to IceRocket, icerocket.com. Because I was beginning to think that SiteAdvisor may not always be accurate, I did a search for "+Pretrieve +comments +Adware", but could not really find anything definitive about its safety. In fact, I saw other links to it from other reputable sites. With my old Win98 system humming along without problems I was reluctant to try Pretrieve. So my questions: 1. Is the Pretrieve search web site safe to use? 2. If it is not, is there a way to access it with something like Torpark or something else in a safe manner? 3. And finally, what is the best way to check out a web site to determine if it is safe? Thanks for any help.
