Symantec identifies 'Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer'

Symantec is out with its "Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer 2009," which it's
calling "the worst of the worst" when it comes to malware threats.

The security vendor says that "48 percent of the Dirtiest Web Sites are,
well, dirty--sites that feature adult content." That means that more
than half the sites cover a wide range of other categories including
legal services, catering, figure skating, and electronics shopping,
according to the report.
On average, sites on the dirtiest list have 18,000 threats per site, but
40 of the sites have in excess of 20,000 threats. One site that appears
to offer restaurant catering services has 23,414 computer threats.
