Why did Facebook stop using MyWot for security alerts and move to McAfee SiteAdvisor?
Previously Facebook used MyWot for security alerts when leaving Facebook.com – now they use McAfee. It’s a great move as MyWot is a bad mouthing community who bulk abuse powers of rating sites. What was Facebook’s reasoning for the move?

Probably because mywot is a scam site holding small business in the US hostage by forcing them to pay a fee for a ‘trusted certificate’ or be threatened with having their site defamed with bad ratings for no good reason.

Facebook still shows mywot alerts and gouthaman works for Facebook as much as I am the pope. You guys sound awfully bitter about your own sites, maybe its time to think why you have bad ratings.
MYWOT has now been shown to BUY FACEBOOK likes from two suppliers online. MYWOT, a small company who has recently been caught buying Facebook likes from two suppliers online has had 24% of their likes removed by FACEBOOK.Facebook also has since removed MYWOT as a partner due to unscrupulous activities found to be ” not trustworthy” by Facebook executives.
” The decision to cancel our relationship with MYWOT is unfortunate, however, Facebook has found evidence of manipulation of companies on the MYWOT system. Facebook acknowledges that MYWOT has a open forum rated by internet peers, however the ranking system has substantial flaws. ” Google executive Matt Cohler states.
Matt Cohler continues to state that ” Facebook will be more careful in the future in regards to partnerig with companies such as MYWOT.”

MYWOT has been falling in popularity over the past 12 months as more and more and more users realize that their rating system is systematically flawed.

Oh yes, this WOT (software) attacked our website too. they turned our business from green to red within 24 hours. Our clients are mainly referred by previous clients and moreover we are an animation studio and working as a group of artists. So what would make them rate us dangerous? God knows!!! we have VeriSign Trust Seal on our website and our company registration number and details are definitely verified with Norton, symantec. So again, what is wrong with us? Definitely mywot is promoting biased ratings. We never ever gonna buy their Trust certificate. As our CEO told them, they are welcome to put a grave on our scoreboard. hahaha. Good luck MYWOT.
