SiteAdvisor, a web security company owned
by McAfee, has made a map of the world that contains levels of threats on the
Internet based on the geographical location of the server or domain. Now you can
find where you should never go. Ever!
Project named Mapping the Mal Web came with

it comes to country domains. Romania is leading with 5,6% (.ro), and big
Russia has only 4,5% risky sites (.ru). Scandinavians are the most honest
ones.
When it comes to downloading data,
the worst places are Bulgaria and Samoa. We must remind that both Romania and
Bulgaria are now EU countries.
The .info domains are poisoned with spam,
beyond the level of recovery. Level of 73,2% of tested websites that were rated
as "spam pollutants" is really disturbing.
