[ga] Regular Domains Have More Malware Than Porn Sites

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  I wonder how much and whom paid for this survey?  Interesting
that this "New Survey/research" came so close on the heals of 
ICANN's .XXX TLD decision, eh?
See:
New research pours scorn on the comforting but
erroneous belief that Windows surfers who avoid smut and wares on the Web
are http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/30/unsafe_surfing/
likely to avoid exposure to malware. A study by free anti-virus
firm Avast found 99 infected legitimate domains for every infected adult
website. In the UK, Avast found that more infected domains contained the
word 'London' than the word 'sex.' Among the domains labeled as infected
by Avast was the smartphones section of the Vodafone UK website. The
mobile phone operator's site contained a malicious JavaScript redirect
script that attempted to take advantage of an unpatched Windows Help and
Support Centre flaw (CVE-2010-1885) to infect the machines of visiting
surfers.
