Take the quiz here

According to a Spyware Quiz conducted by McAfee SiteAdvisor , a staggering 97% of Internet users are just one click away from infecting their PCs with spyware. One interesting conclusion from this study showed that even users with a high "Spyware IQ" have a nearly 100% chance of visiting a dangerous site during 30 days of typical online searching and browsing activity."

You laugh in the face of spyware and adware. Your practically clairvoyant knowledge of the Web allows you to distinguish between safe sites and those that pose potential danger. (We suspect that you may also know which soda machines might steal your money before you drop a quarter.) Our hats off to you.

Remember that even one misstep can put your PC at risk, so SiteAdvisor's free software can help you always stay safe and in control online.

Not bad. You avoided some sites that would have plagued you with spyware and adware, but you chose others which could put your PC at risk. Think of it as walking along on a tightrope, where one wrong step could plunge you into danger. Wouldn't you like to have someone by your side for safety? SiteAdvisor can help guide you so you stay safe online.
