Some people think widgets will just add clutter to their sites, but by choosing ones that suit your page style and by proper placement they can give your blog dept, character and charm. But beware of the "Killer Widgets"I've been doing a lot of surfing and have managed to find some really cool stuff for my site, but my Norton Anti Virus Protection has been working over time. It has blocked and deleted a total of 6 high risk viruses and quarantined 2 medium risks while I was either viewing or attempting to download a widget from what I thought was a reputable site. I will not mention any url's but I believe the reason for the problem is that the sites are now allowing people to upload widget's and apparently they are not equipped to make sure all of them are virus clean. I never understood why anyone would get a kick out of creating codes that could destroy someones computer, but they are out there.
A couple words of wisdom while looking for widgets. First, make sure you have antivirus protection and that it is totally up to date. Second, if a site allows widget uploads you can plan on getting attacked if you hit on the wrong widget.

So, in other words only download from reputable sites and check downloads just to be sure.
