Part of the 88.3%

According to this article from AP (via Yahoo! News), McAfee has identified "the most dangerous domains" on the Internet.

(I have to point out first that, having used many different computer security programs, McAfee is hardly the best, but, whatever.)

Quote:

McAfee found the most dangerous domains to navigate to are ".hk" (Hong Kong), ".cn" (China) and ".info" (information).
Of all ".hk" sites McAfee tested, it flagged 19.2 percent as dangerous or potentially dangerous to visitors; it flagged 11.8 percent of ".cn" sites and 11.7 percent of ".info" sites that way.


The URL for this blog is "www.wildaspie.info" - I might get more traffic if I was selling cheap Prozac or Viagra, but I'm not. I'm part of that 88.3% of .info domains that pose no risk to your precious computer.

Regarding the safety of your mindset I make no promises, though.
