| 556044 | 2007-06-04 10:24:00 | About 9% of adult sites produce spyware, adware or spam, compared with 19% of digital music sites found in a study by McAfee. www.latimes.com | Strommer (42) | ||
| 556045 | 2007-06-04 10:33:00 | That would be referring to the illicit MP3 sites rather than the legit Microsoft based sites and iTunes. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 556046 | 2007-06-04 20:06:00 | That article says In better news, the number of the very worst sites — those that use known vulnerabilities in software to automatically install keystroke loggers and other malicious programs — remained quite small. McAfee turned up less than one in a thousand among the top search engine results.Google has begun to warn users before they go to one of those sites, and a spokeswoman said that the effort would remain the priority over fighting such lesser threats as adware and spam. I have not seen any warnings from a Google search. Has anyone seen these warnings, and does Firefox or Opera give warnings when a malware site is being viewed? |
