A recent study made by UK free-antivirus firm Avast revealed that there are 99 virus infected non-pornographic pages for every infected porn page.

It is a very high number especially when it is known that  one-third of the Internet may be composed of pornographic webpages. Which means that surfing pornographic sites is apparently safer than visiting the rest of the Internet, which includes business, serious, trustful sites.

Avast CTO Ondrej Vlcek states, "We are not recommending people to start searching for erotic content but the statistics are clear - for every infected adult domain we identify there are 99 others with perfectly legitimate content that are also infected."

The study showed that even though there is a vast amount of traffic passing through them, pornographic sites actually demonstrated a remarkably low infection rate, while many seemingly "safe" sites have been compromised to include malicious attack scripts.
