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.

    Looks like it's safe. According to siteadvisor:

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