"Avast reports reports that there are now 99 "normal" infected web sites for every infected "adult" site."

"Symantec has come to a similar conclusion.... the share of legitimate web sites among manipulated web sites rose from 80% in 2009 to 90% this year."

it would be interesting to know what percentage comes from advertising

If it is legit sites, those sites should be banned altogether and domain blocked. Why a normal user has to suffer because of poor /no security measures...

Scenario:

Boss: You're fired!
Employee: Why? What did I do wrong?
Boss: You went browsing adult-sites during work time and got the company's PC infected with shitty pop-ups...and what else!!!
Employee: I did...browse for sexy babes...BUT it was the other bloke working for you that infected the PC...by visiting the company's own website (kid's toys)...I'm innocent.

I'm quite certain that wouldn't fly with my boss!

So there's no difference if we browse illegal or legal sites...
