Yeah, but if the SE's are doing it already then that's pointless. In fact the AVG slows down your load time so badly it's totally impractical.
Nice innovation from yahoo though some softwares already do that but they can track it soon before someone reporting because they have their own mail service..
It wasn't pointless. Google doesn't do it yet, Yahoo just started. So, it wasn't pointless until they started. Also, the sites I think are updated a lot quicker then you would find with a SE. Oh well. It is faster if a SE does it.
Cool, so they get even less SE traffic and have to spam twice as much to get customers lol Seriously though, good feature.. It takes Google's Malware feature a step further.
ahh that site is a PR 7 and it is being outed for sending "unsolicited emails" ??? lol that cant be good for business!
Brilliant! Something new from Yahoo thats ahead of Google. This is exactly what they need to be doing to win over web users.
This is good news but why would you implement something like this now? This should have been done years ago.
That's what I think, too. Would be more effective. But anyway it's a nice feature, while it's there. Unfortunatelly, I can already see lawyers lining up to sue Y because of "invasion of privacy". Sure their clients can invade others privacy, but they will say Yahoo can not invade theirs, specially making it public.
If you upgrade AVG (the antivirus software) to version 8, by default, it installs a very annoying addon that scans your google/yahoo/search results, and marks them with a green checkmark as ‘safe’ If you wish to not have this ‘feature’, run this command (when you install AVG, or afterward to reinstall without): · open menu Start -> Run · type c:\avg_free_stf_*.exe /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSurf /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSearch [for c:\avg_free_etc, put in the location of the installation file you downloaded] (found on http://free.grisoft.com/ww.faq.num-1238)
