It’s hard to determine these days what sites are safe for viewing, and it’s getting riskier everyday as the report from McAfee below states:

The investigation, conducted by McAfee(R) SiteAdvisor(TM), studied the five major U.S. search engines (Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, Ask) and found that the overall chance of clicking through to a risky site declined by 12.0%. Still, McAfee estimates that consumers click through to risky sites more than 268 million times each month.

“It’s good to see that clicking on search engine results has gotten modestly safer,” said Chris Dixon, director of strategy, McAfee SiteAdvisor. “But when almost one of 12 sponsored links still clicks through to a risky site, there remains significant room for continued improvement.”

It’s a bit safer now, but if your chosen and trusted search engine points you to a dangerous site, it’s better to be safe and sorry and not click on suspicious sites.
