What are the top 5 most infected sites? -

Want to know which websites you should be most wary when surfing the web? Fortunately for us, Symantec, the makers of Norton Internet security software, has released a report that followed malicious code on websites to see which ones have been infected most. Of all the websites they followed, the first 5 types of sites are:

  1. Blogs and Web communications
  2. sites
  3. Hosting / Hosted Personal
  4. Business / Economics
  5. shopping
  6. Education and reference

the report also indicates that a whopping 61% of malicious sites are sites actually regular that have been compromised and infected by malicious code. Hackers use what Symantec calls "drive-by" attacks that use regular sites to host malware hidden. All you need is a user clicking on a corrupted link or even just visit the site to be infected. the most common use of "clickjacking" that occurs when a user clicks on a malicious link or video and hackers use that click to view the video or link to all the friends of that user.

If you want a good suite of security software that provides protection against malware on the web, try to look for software that has a good URL scanner as Avast or Kaspersky. you can also look for software that Facebook has specific protection, such as Norton. for our opinion on the suites of security software and compare their features, click here.
