When search engines produce risky results
A new study from security software company McAfee finds search engines are producing slightly fewer search results that lead to spyware, adware, spam and attacks against your Web browser.
McAfee studied Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, and Ask, finding that the chance of clicking to a dangerous site declined by 12 percent. The study was co-authored by independent researcher Ben Edelman.
McAfee's Kelly Ford says 4.4 percent of all search results still lead to risky sites.
