the top 100 dirtiest websites

Norton Symantec names Top 100 Dirtiest sites | News | News.com.au
THE 100 websites most affected by viruses each have about 18,000 nasties to attack net users' computers, internet security company Norton Symantec said.

Simply visiting one of the "Top 100 Dirtiest" websites – without downloading or even clicking anything – could expose your computer to infection and put your personal information into the hands of criminals, Norton Symantec spokeswoman Natalie Connor said.

The list was compiled using global data collected on Norton Safe Web, a site which analysed websites' security risks and has 20 million users providing site reviews.

The top 100 infected sites had on average 18,000 threats and 40 per cent of the sites had more than 20,000 threats.

A staggering 75 per cent of websites on the list were found to be distributing malware for more than six months.

Malware is malicious software that can damage or compromise a computer system without the owner's consent.

5 (Easy!) Healthy Things You Can Do For Yourself--Right This Second! - Healthy Living on Shine
Making healthy choices doesn't always have to be time consuming or a drag. Here are five super-easy things you can do to improve your health right this second ... without leaving your desk!

****
1. Do your kegals! You know you haven't done them in a while, right? So start flexing, gals (squeeze for 3 seconds, then relax for 3 seconds)! Do a set of 15 right this moment and try to work in a few more sets before the day's in. The health payoff: You'll strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which can help prevent incontinence issues down the road and even improve your sex life.

2. Drink some water. Take a sip right now! You'll feel more energized and will be less likely to fall victim to a headache (dehydration is the #1 cause of common headaches).

3. Sit up straighter. You were slumping over just then, weren't you? I was, too, until I caught myself. Notice how when you sit up straighter, you feel better. Posture experts say that making a conscious effort to keep your spine straight and shoulders back can have huge health payoffs--plus, you look more beautiful when you're sitting up straight (it's true!).

4. Take a series of deep breaths. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? But when's the last time today or this week that you sat back in your chair and paid attention to your breathing patterns, focusing on taking big, deep breaths? Carve out a few minutes for mindful breathing (as new agey as that sounds) and you'll feel more revived.

Stressed? Try "brick-wall thinking"...

5. Cancel something. I think most women are guilty of over-scheduling their lives (me too!), which leads to stress and anxiety. Have you overbooked yourself? If so, you're not failing if you simply reschedule a dinner date for the following weekend or cancel a meeting that can totally happen tomorrow. Sometimes the healthiest thing is a little breathing room.

What other simple, quick things do you do to improve your health?
