Scamming results on Yahoo! continue

Post by DragonMaster Jay on Tue Dec 01, 2009 6:58 am

Yahoo! has still not filtered its sponsored search results, and Internet users are being tricked much more commonly.

Doing a search of www.kaspersky.com - the website of an excellent security company, Kaspersky, would return the following results (sponsor):



Pointed out are the bad results, that are plaguing Internet users in to traps. Malware, rogues, and spam are the results for just a search for Kaspersky.com.

Here is a big warning: do not ever click on a sponsored result, no matter if the results look ok. Always click on what is fully legitimate.

If you fall in to traps commonly, consider adding the following extension to your browser: Web-Of-Trust http://www.mywot.com

I would fully reccomend the Web Of Trust (WOT) toolbar to everyone.

This toolbar will alert you to know rouge/dangerous sites and help you to protect your computers.

You can also rate a site yourself to inform other users if it is safe or dangerous.
