Yahoo will flag Malware sites in search results
Yahoo has announced that they will launch a partnership with McAfee starting tomorrow. Yahoo will integrate McAfee’sSite Advisor into the Yahoo search results that shows whether a listed website has reportedly been infected with Malware. Site Advisor up until now has been a Firefox add-on that monitors users browsing behavior and reports whether sites. Malware has gotten out of hand these past couple of years with no real definitive solutions yet. The experts blame Microsoft for having an insecure operating system while others say it just so happens that Microsoft is the most popular platform. Statistically speaking the more popular something is the more it will be exploited. There’s a big war about this subject in the blogosphere with fingers pointed in every direction. But again, no one seems to have a solution. What will it take to get Malware under control? Skynet is self aware.
now that’s a good step taken by yahoo towards search result security.
