Heres a little site that may help some people to find out if a link or site is safe just type in the url for example https://www.bbc.co.uk and you sould see a Green Light, this is safe.
Now do that with https://www.taboo.co.uk (adult site) and it will come back with a Red Light for stop its a bit on the bad side so be very wary.
Their is also an Orange Light that means you should be cautious.
To find out what sites are ok to visit (might help parents) just enter the web address (url) here. https://www.scandoo.com
Scandoos blurb from here http://www.scandoo.com/aboutus.htm
Search engines are most people’s entry point to new web sites. At Scandoo we automatically scan all search results to protect you from visiting web sites that spread malicious viruses or spyware, and protect you from viewing offensive content
If it doesnt help you then thats not my fault, im only trying to help out.

I've been using siteadviser (Know owned by Mcafee) plugin for a while and I really highly recommend it
If I go to Google and type in Screensavers, look what happens
But it doesn't really cover how offensive a site is0 -
Mmmm So I suppose scandoo willl give you a guide to what the site requested has instore for the user as where siteadvisor gives a list of good or bad sites depending on what has been listed.
Both helpful but even better together then, as I suppose you could enter a word via site advisor then maybe submit it to scandoo for a more indepth review.0 -
Of course, it's no replacement for a bit of common sense0

Just tried it.
Sure enough, look at the adverts on the right when I search for 'hot'0
