Best addons for IE

1)Web of Trust - This addon is similar to McAfee Site Advisor. The Web of Trust Add-on integrates with search results pages and rates each link for safety.

• Green means safe
• Yellow means caution
• Red means don't visit the page. 

 2) LastPass - Its very difficult to remember website passwords, the LastPass Add-on makes that process a whole lot safer by encrypting your saved passwords in its servers, rather than in IE's (relatively insecure) password file. Just keep track of your LastPass master password, and it will automatically log you in to any other site or service on the web. Oh, and if you stink at coming up with secure, unique passwords when signing up for new websites, LastPass will generate them for you.
