Yahoo McAfee Partnership to ID Dangerous Search Results


If you've used McAfee's SiteAdvisor to flag potentially dangerous web searches, the new Yahoo/McAfee dangerous web site team-up will look familiar to you. I went to Yahoo Search and searched for free downloads since I was pretty sure it would result in a few dangerous sites being listed in the search results. I found it interesting that McAfee highlighted the sponsored search result as a dangerous site. This is a good thing since it indicates that they aren't playing favorites.
