Safer searches on Google

According to McAfee SiteAdvisor (well worth installing by the way), a search on Yahoo (5,4%) or MSN is more risky than Google - although the safest search engine is AOL (2.9%). The risky sites are defined as:

- distributing adware
- sending lots of spam or non-spam email
- make unauthorised changes to users' computers.
- displaying many pop-up ads
- prompting a user to change browser settings

So, install SiteAdvisor, and glance at it before interacting in any way with the website you are visiting!
