Internet Searches - WHAT NOT TO GOOGLE

While this is not animal related, I feel it is too important not to share.

What Not to Google

As you may expect, searching for pirated software, music, and movies through Google and other search engines is risky business. The top links are often controlled by hackers who offer up computer viruses and other dangerous programs in disguise.

What you may not expect is that more innocuous searches can get you in trouble, too. Here, according to anti-virus company McAfee, are some of the search subjects that have been found to lead to the most "malicious" links.

  • Word unscramblers
  • Lyrics
  • MySpace
  • Free music downloads
  • Free music
  • Game cheats
  • Printable fill-in puzzles
  • Free ringtones
  • Solitaire
Bottom line: Don't click on links you're not sure of. Searchers beware!
