BitDefender Traffic Light protects your Web browser from malware and phishing
It's also not nearly as in-your-face as some browser malware defense tools. Traffic Light displays only a small slide-out grab tab that you can click to display its analysis of the current page. When malicious activity is detected, however, Traffic Light will spring into action and prevent the offending code from executing. You'll be giving up a bit of memory -- somewhere between 20 and 30 megs -- but most of us can spare at least that much, especially for some additional Web security.
To install Traffic Light in your browser, visit the BitDefender site. A few clicks later an you'll have unobtrusive malware protection hiding just below your browser's toolbar.

@HexDSL I find that WoT is often misused. If its a controversial site (like religion) its often downrated for no other reason that people disagree

Most Internet Security Suite software already contain a browser security tool. Like I have AVG Internet Security Suite that has it's own browser security.
This could be a good choice for people who do not already have such a browser security tool.

I think, trafficLight is significantly slowing down the browser (FF4). For Example, while waiting for all pics to load on DLS, you'll get old and wise and become grandpa.
I'm using regular internet security, but trafficLight will be - as 'mail' mentioned - good choice for certain people
