Probably not all that much of a shock:

McAfee found the most dangerous domains to navigate to are ".hk" (Hong Kong), ".cn" (China) and ".info" (information).

Of all ".hk" sites McAfee tested, it flagged 19.2 percent as dangerous or potentially dangerous to visitors; it flagged 11.8 percent of ".cn" sites and 11.7 percent of ".info" sites that way.

Where McAfee found some of the least-risky domain names:
• ".gov" (government use), with 0.05 percent flagged;
• ".jp" (Japan), with 0.1 percent flagged and
• ".au" (Australia), with 0.3 percent flagged.

So, http://www.cockroachesonyourscreen.hk is probably something to stay away from?

LOL

Anyhow, I'm not even sure that's a site... just typed it in for the effect..

Interesting information though. I wonder what the breakdown is over the entire internet, like how many sites there are that are .com compared to .net .hk etc...

Thanks Laura..
