The most dangerous search words on the internet
Just sharing some morning coffee reading with ya...
**************************
A new research report by U.S.-based antivirus software company McAfee has identified the most dangerous Internet search words that place users on pages with a higher likelihood of cyber attacks.
The study examined 2,600 popular keywords on five major search engines -- Google, Yahoo, Live, AOL and Ask -- and analyzed 413,000 Web pages.
Categories that had the highest risk of run-ins with malware:
"screen savers, free games, work from home, Olympics, videos, celebrities, music and news."
Riskiest terms:
"word unscrambler, lyrics, myspace, free music downloads, phelps, game cheats, printable fill-in puzzles, free ringtones and solitaire."
************************************************
I haven't used these particular search terms myself, but I do avoid throwing the word "free" in there, I do look up lyrics but usually by using a line or verse as the keyword phrase and not specifically look up "song lyrics" sites.
But after reading this whole thing, I guess I should be a bit more particular still.

I've found that any site for travel or weather are really bad for "tracking cookies" and spam from them.
