Hello
Should I not open these pages, or add the 'www' after the 'http' bit as suggested? They are University websites, so feel they should be OK
Thanks.

McAfee SiteAdvisor Apr 5, 2007

McAfee Site Advisor is another way of checking whether it is safe to open a web link or not. It is free from http://www.siteadvisor.com/
(there is a more elaborate version which you have to pay for, but the free one seems quite adequate to me).
