Yahoo search results warn of malware
06/05/2008 by swordfish.
Yahoo has penned a deal with McAfee to use its SiteAdvisor software to warn users about potentially dangerous websites.
The new security feature will place a red exclamation mark next to search links McAfee believes are involved with spam, phishing or the spread of malicious software.
SiteAdvisor has been available for some time as a browser plugin, but Yahoo says it has been working for almost a year to integrate the technology into its search results. As part of the integration, sites that are found to be automatically installing malicious code, or attempting to exploit browser vulnerabilities, will be completely dropped from search results.

P.S. The QBS PC Help website has been checked by the McAfee SiteAdvisor and it didn’t find any significant problems!
