According to a report done by Symantec, pornographic websites don't have as much malware as many other categories of websites.
So get back to that video of the BBW tranny bukkake scat orgy that you were afraid to watch; only your conscience is at stake.
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/47671318/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/t/surprise-most-dangerous-web-sites-arent-porn-sites/ Web-based attacks increased by 36 percent in 2011 compared with the previous year, Symantec, an Internet security firm, said in its "2011 Threat Landscape" report.
While we've been warned about the dangers of visiting porn sites, other types of sites are far more likely to be infected with malware, according to the report. For instance, about 20 percent of blogs host malware.
Here's the full list of Web site types, and the percentage that is infected.
Top 10 Infected Web site types
1. Blogs.........................................19.8%
2. Web hosting...............................15.6%
3. Business and economy..................10%
4. Shopping....................................7.7%
5. Education and reference...............6.9%
6. Technology, computer, Internet......6.9%
7. Entertainment and music...............3.8%
8. Automotive.................................3.8%
9. Health and medicine.....................2.7%
10. Porn..........................................2.4%
Avoiding all of these types of sites would leave you with very little to enjoy. As for porn coming in last, Symantec says that this is because pornographic website owners already make money from the Internet and, as a result, have a vested interest in keeping their sites malware-free — it’s not good for repeat business.
