While a red "x" next to a link for a webpage would be enough for me to
not go to a site, I don't think typical company's users really think
about it or care. After all, "the IT department is taking care of all
this and protecting my computer from infection. If it does get infected,
they'll fix it for me". It would probably take a huge re-education
effort. Then again, that's just my opinion. Good luck.

That sounds like McAfee's "Site Advisor". It's a plug-in for IE and FF
(and I presume other browsers) that rates a page. McAfee has a free
version and of course, a paid-for version.

New info about AVG 8.0: It does come with a neat feature which rates
webpages generated by search engines as to their safety rating (doesn't
work with their installed Yahoo toolbar though). Not sure how they come
up with this or how accurate it is, but it does present a certain
comfort level when guessing at whether one should click or not.
