But what if you're logged into …

Is WOT's list of bad websites better than Microsoft's? And does WOT enable you to download their list (like an anit-virus program lets you download a list of virus definitions)? Because that's not what SmartScreen does. It sends the URLs to Microsoft to check, which sounds like an invasion of …
