question about an online games site

Janey - formerly jane2

My question is about registering with gamesgames.com to play "Word Link".

Is http://www.gamesgames.com/ a legitimate site? Meaning that it is ok to register with the it --- and I will probably only have to put up with tracking devices such as cookies that result from this site. Not viruses, malware etc.

The registration page for Word Link can be seen here: https://king.gamesgames.com/signup.jsp?redirect=true&gameId=14
In another place it says: "Gamesgames.com is the biggest online games site for families offering a large variety of cooking games, time management games, dress-up games, design games, and other fun games. Users can play interactively with peers, and with new games constantly being added, they will never get bored!"

It appears to be part of Spilgames (http://www.gamesgames.com/privacy-policy.html ) which started in the Netherlands. And/or with king.com Ã¯Â¿Â½ which is "Europe's first website for skill games where you can win money by participating in tournaments."
(I will not be playing for money.)

Is there a handy-dandy place for people (like me) to go to in order to find out if the games is safe to register for?

Thanks, Jane

Webuation gives them high marks.

Always remember you should not use your real name when registering anywhere, this helps you stay anonymous.

For myself I would be running a scan after each visit for the first few times to ensure they have not given me any kind of spam.

If you installed WOT, Web of Trust, you would be able to decide the safety of most sites when Googling as EmmaR did before posting her comment to you.

To be extra safe once you download the .exe for the game file go to the location you stored it and do not open it yet, first right click on the .exe and chose to scan it with your virus scanner from the list, that will do a direct scan on that file to see if it is clean. If you have malware scanners that have that option it is a good idea to scan the file with them also. I use McAfee site advisor, which can be added to your browser, it will tell you valuable information about websites and if they are safe to visit. You can get it free for both IE and firefox.

question about the online virtual paint programs
Q
Comments (2)
Same thing happened to me at SW online. Over time I'm purchased 3 different paint software programs (BM, Lowes & PPG), so I could import photos of my own rooms. The downside to virtual paint software is that none are accurate to the real life swatch. Individual computer monitors and computer graphics cards are factors that contribute to the difference. On the positive side, the virtual programs are a blessing in that they can guide us to colors, shades, undertones that will work and show us clearly what won't work, then we can go and get real life swatches in those colors, narrow it down and get sample pots (or a quart if necessary), paint them on poster board and get to a color we're happy with, rather than taking a shot in the dark and risking a do-over ;)

In general, if you do a Google search on a website's name plus the word scam you should get lots of results if there's a problem with the site. This has always worked pretty well for me.

Sorry about not checking back sooner. Many thanks to everyone for your answers.
I had entered the website's name in Google, kudzu9 - but not the word "scam" along with it. Of course what came back to me was all the wonderful stuff written by the website itself. Thank you for supplying the missing link, kudzu9.
Looks like I shall be installing WOT. Thank you EmmaR and owbist (And I will be spam checking for a while.)
Now for some worry-free playing.
