Google These
by Jag Foo on 22 Jun 09 7:10 PM
 

It's hard to do without search engines. Most of us use it everyday for work and research.

I came across this article that talks about the dangers of Googling. You may be thinking - what danger?

Well..the danger lies in the search result links that you may click after you entered a keyword you are searching for.

Take a look at the short article to find out more:

As you may expect, searching for pirated software, music, and movies through Google and other search engines is risky business. The top links are often controlled by hackers who offer up computer viruses and other dangerous programs in disguise.

What you may not expect is that more innocuous searches can get you in trouble, too. Here, according to anti-virus company McAfee, are some of the search subjects that have been found to lead to the most "malicious" links.

  • Word unscramblers
  • Lyrics
  • MySpace
  • Free music downloads
  • Free music
  • Game cheats
  • Printable fill-in puzzles
  • Free ringtones
  • Solitaire

Bottom line: Don't click on links you're not sure of. Searchers beware!

Yours sincerely,
Jag
