OT: Why you are playing russian roullette if you use a search engine....


McAfee has released an interesting report on how safe search engines are:

Gotta love this...
On the five most popular sites -- Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and Ask -- 72 percent of results for searches such as "free screensavers," "digital music," "popular software" and "singers" were risky.

Further reading of the document shows that picking the top results of a search aren't always safe either.
