Need Firefox add on that checks for Safe websites?
Is there an add on to Win7 FF that will automatically check any websites you visit and tell you if they are safe to use?

The ones I use personally are Web Of Trust add on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...browsing-tool/ - notifications.
BitDefender TrafficLight:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../trafficlight/ - also strips harmful elements out of web pages allowing you to visit them.
Metascan Online (requires API) but is free.
Metascan Firefox Add On released
Then although it's not a Firefox Add On you might as well use a secure DNS Lookup Server that blocks access to malicious websites no matter what browser you use.

Callender,
Thanks a lot, I'll check them all out.

I guess it depends on your ISP. If they provide secure DNS servers that block known malware sites and that cannot suffer from DNS Poisoning that can affect every user using the same ISP.
If you want to be paranoid look at DNS Crypt and More on DNS Crypt
The suggestion to change to something else was aimed at the original poster who obviously experienced problems when using his ISP's DNS Lookup Server.
EDIT: I was getting threads mixed up. See: Pages take a long time and unresponsive-all browsers
Personally I tend to alternate between a few DNS Lookup Servers - switching whenever I think that there might be a problem.
