This past week, a Brigada family member wondered if ooVoo.com was safe. He happened to have received a warning in his browser saying that something was awry with www.ooVoo.com, a service we had recommended last week. So how would he check? One way is to browse to…

http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?name=oovoo.com

Where you can put in the name of the website (like I did above), then hit “enter” and wait for the feedback. In this particular case, there were no negative reviews about ooVoo.com, so we suggested he close his browser and reopen it again. When he did so, the ooVoo came up without the warning. So if you ever see a flag, try one or the other approach and maybe you’ll discover it’s a safe-enough service after all.
