How to Spot Malware Sites
Anybody who uses the internet knows that threats are just around the corner with each and every turn ready to pounce at the unprepared. Lucky for your, there are a lot of indicators that would allow you to tell if a site is possibly an attack site or if the site is sporting invalid security keys. Most intrusion prevention systems like Norton, CA and others have web site filtering systems that checks web sites for unauthorized web access out and into your computer, prompting you to either allow or disallow the said action. Try doing a search on Google and Yahoo and you get blacklisted sites that are presented but listed as known attack sites.
One of the most difficult things to spot with concerns to the web is the many attack sites that download payloads onto your computer even if you have no knowledge of such. You seem to be browsing a valid site that has in fact been copied and faked, loaded with malware ready for spreading into your computer. There are also a lot of free anti-virus software out on the web that one can download and use for free protecting you from such malware and hidden attacks.
