Beware of Web Sites Ending in .cm

 Beware of Web Sites Ending in .cm
 
Urls ending in ".cm"—which originate in the country of Cameron—pose the greatest risk (36.7%) of picking up a virus.
 
(Internet users often end up on .cm by mistakenly leaving out the "o" in ".com," and malware spreaders take advantage of this common error).
 The ubiquitous ".com" domain itself also is risky, with 32.2% of all sites checked by McAfee containing some kind of unwanted malware.
 
The Chinese domain ending, ".cn" is the third most dangerous at 23.4%.
