Can you spot the fake web site?
McAfee has a little 10 question quiz to test your web savvy. Bet you don't get all 10 right. We scored a 9 out of 10, which is pretty good - but it only takes one wrong move to have your identity stolen.
Of course, McAfee's trying to get you to download their SiteAdvisor product, but it's a free download anyway.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

This is absolute baloney!! Just a silly way of hawking their security app. I scored an 8/10. Errors they point out are near impossible to catch. I dont review any web-page this closely. Every nitty gritty element? I realize some of you may think this the very purpose of the tool--do the detailed analysis for you. I would like to pose two brief questions:
1. How do you reach such dubious sites? What are the chances that I would end up on one of these sites. I dont click on the links in my email.
2. So people you have crappy English be tagged as security risk, or for that matter pages with non-standard CSS?
