Following Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s lead, Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) is moving to
make its search engine safer.
Yahoo and McAfee on Tuesday announced a partnership to integrate
McAfee's SiteAdvisor technology with Yahoo Search. SiteAdvisor tracks
Web site security issues, identifying sites associated with adware,
malware, spyware, phishing, and spam.
The new SearchScan feature in Yahoo Search is a manifestation of the
partnership. It provides red warning messages about the risks posed by
Web sites that appear in Yahoo Search results lists.
Google began flagging risky search results in February 2007.
