5% of All Web Traffic Unsafe

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the conservative-estimates dept.

OnFour writes "The MIT-backed startup behind SiteAdvisor has slapped a red "X" warning label on approximately 5 percent of all Web traffic and warned that there are roughly one billion monthly visits to Web pages that aren't safe for surfing. About 2 percent of all Web traffic was given the "yellow" caution rating." A more general SiteAdvisor blog entry overview was covered earlier on Slashdot.

    "roughly one billion monthly visits to Web pages "
    OK, and the "one billion monthly visits" is clickable?
    Dear god does anyone else think that is the epitomy of where you could actually post tubgirl or worse and have it not only be on topic, but insightful? :(
    ermm
    crap, I think I just justified tubgirl as insightful or interesting.
    I quit.
    (and no, there are NO LINKS in this comment, if for no other reason than I might end up drunk and click on one of them)

      Looks like it's safe. According to siteadvisor:
      http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/tubgirl.com

      tubgirl.com
      [Green]

      We tested this site and didn't find any significant problems.

      tubgirl.com [Green]

      Not only that, SiteAdvisor (trial version!) is clearly aware that tubgirl.com links/redirects to domains including "sexmoviesonpod.com" and "naughtynati.com" (as seen in the helpful graphic).

      So...I'm sold. Where do I sign up?
