Stopbadware.org released its May, 2008 report which ranked Google as 5th in hosting badware or infected sites, and China with an infection rate over three times that of the world average.
Stopbadware.org drew its data from Google’s “Safe Browsing” initiative,
note: Google, a sponsor of StopBadware.org, tells StopBadware.org that when a Blogger site is identified as badware by their Safe Browsing initiative, the site is immediately reported to Google’s Blogger group and the site is disabled. However, the URL for the site remains listed as badware until the Safe Browsing systems rescan the site, which means that there is a lag from the time the site is rendered harmless to the time at which it no longer appears in the data used by StopBadware.org for analysis.
