How safety ratings are compiled 

Safety ratings are derived by testing criteria for each website and evaluating the results to assess 
whether the site poses a risk and, if so, what type of risk.

Automated tests compile safety ratings for a website by checking for: 

„

Viruses and potentially unwanted programs bundled with downloaded files. 

„

Spam or a high volume of non-spam emails sent after submitting contact information in a 
signup form. 

„

Excessive popup windows. 

„

Attempts by the site to exploit browser vulnerabilities. 

„

Deceptive or fraudulent practices employed by a site. 

Test results are compiled into a safety report that can also include:

„

Feedback submitted by site owners, which might include descriptions of safety precautions 
used by the site or responses to user feedback about the site. 

„

Feedback submitted by site users, which might include reports of phishing scams or bad 
shopping experiences. 

„

Analysis by SonicWALL employees. 

Staying safe during searches 

When users enter keywords into a popular search engine such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask, or 
AOL.com, color-coded safety icons appear next to sites listed in the Search Results page: 

No significant problems. 

Some issues users should know about. For example, the site tried to 
change the testers’ browser defaults or sent them a high volume of 
non-spam email. 

Some serious issues that users should consider carefully before accessing 
the site. For example, the site sent testers spam emails or bundled adware 
with a download.
