RE: US Branded Dirtiest Web Hosting Nation (SC Magazine)
Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 11:23AM | Immunet Team Today, the fine reporters of SC Magazine ran a bit of research from Sophos about the US being branded “the dirty man of the web world”. Infected websites, malware and malicious software abound.
We already know Twitter viruses, Facebook viruses and the host of other social networking attacks are an issue. Now, the trustworthiness of legit websites is an increasing concern and time is an issue - time, in the sense that antivirus protection follows the identification of a threat. This could take days for traditional software. There are plenty of examples around the forums.
This is precisely the reason overlaying existing antivirus software with Immunet Protect is beneficial. Immunet’s community focus plus the Collective Immunity protection feature means if anyone using Immunet Protect registers a virus, all users are instantly protected against that virus. To better illustrate this point, have a look over the actual numbers:

to be honest, i don't think it's fare on SC magazine's part to publish such -ve things about web hosting in the US!
Immunet seems to be a pretty good tool against these new kind of attacks. I'll definitely give it a try asap. Also i am considering of migrating to Email Hosting. Your views onthe subject would be much appreciated. Thanks
