Make sure to download the Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/myetherwallet/nlbmnnijcnlegkjjpcfjclmcfggfefdm

And more importantly, get a [Trezor](http://smarturl.it/trz) to be completely secure.

Be careful for now and do not use MEW Web until further notice.

Thank you for the info. 

Do you think that it is safe to open it with metamask?
