You gong to trust the opinions of people who can get details of a site wrong due to not bothering to search a little.
For example many of the idiots reviewing the forums.mozillaZine.org think the mozillaZine.org site is owned by Mozilla Corporation or Mozilla Foundation when it has been independent from the start in 1998. If people got this simple thing wrong then can you really trust WOT. Mozilla has had their own support forum
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/ for a decade or so now.

Also WOT has not been trust worthy for another reason as WOT (Web of Trust) was accused of stealing private data.

As for Norton, it has been one of the worst offenders at times when it comes to false positives with Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey files. The SeaMonkey commumity has singled out Norton/Symantic for several years now in the Release notes.

Known Issues
Windows:
Norton/Symantec anti-virus scanners may report that some parts of SeaMonkey (e.g. the file freebl3.dll) are suspicious. If you downloaded SeaMonkey from one of the official download sites, this is a false alarm. You might experience problems with secure websites when this happens. To fix the issue, instruct your anti-virus software to ignore these files (and move them out of quarantine) and/or switch to another anti-virus software and reinstall SeaMonkey.
So still think WOT and Norton has been reliable.
