Viral Threat Level

Viral Threat Level is an add-on for Firefox that provides users with a quick visual representation of the current threat level of the internet. This is indicated by a small image in the Firefox status bar, which updates automatically every 15 minutes.

The threat level takes into consideration various factors, including email viruses and vulnerabilities in your operating system. To help users stay informed and protected, the add-on includes a detailed page that explains why the threat level is at a particular level and what steps users can take to secure their devices. This page can be accessed through a menu item in the add-on.

Additionally, the add-on includes a refreshing feature, which can be accessed through a separate menu item. This ensures that users always have access to the latest information about the threat level.

It should be noted that while the add-on provides valuable information about the threat level, it is still important to take steps to protect your device. This includes regularly installing security patches for your operating system and keeping your virus scanner up-to-date.

Overall, Viral Threat Level is a useful tool for anyone who wants to stay informed about the current state of online threats. It is cross-platform and works on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.
