Today I searched my own blog address in Google to view websites which have linked to it. To my surprise, from the result pages I found someone has scanned my site with McAfee SiteAdvisor for potential spyware or other potentially unwanted programs, not quite the search result I expected I’d say.
The security report stated that mine was safe from threats (of course it should be, i have no downloadable executable files per see) .
So out of curiousity I checked out other website scanning report, such as download.com we all visit. Oddly, there are some programs offered to be download at download.com reported to contain viruses and spyware which were detected by the site advisor. Wow! software downloads at download.com are not safe?
The similar result received by softpedia.com which claim to be free from threats for their software downloads.
Always make sure you know what you are downloading from these sites, otherwise it would be a problem in your side..
