McAfee, an antivirus and security company, has made public its report on internet security for this year. The study, called “Mapping the Mal Web Revisited,” has made available some interesting, though alarming information. It seems that chances of getting a virus or a security threat while surfing the web has increased with more than 40 percent since this time last year.

There has also been a change of places in the ‘most dangerous domain name’ top. If last year’s champion was a small island in the Pacific with about 1,500 inhabitants, Tokelau, this year the tables have turned and Hong Kong “proudly” takes the lead. Of course, it would be absurd to blame Tokelau’s population for messing around with our computers. However, the company, which made the .tk domain name available, charged nothing for the use of it, thus making it a paradise for everyone who wanted to contribute to the growing world of computer viruses............
