SAN FRANCISCO Web wanderers are more likely to get a computer virus by visiting a religious website than by peering at porn, according to a study released on Tuesday.
Drive-by attacks in which hackers booby-trap legitimate websites with malicious code continue to be a bane, the US-based anti-virus vendor Symantec said in its Internet Security Threat Report.
Websites with religious or ideological themes were found to have triple the average number of threats that those featuring adult content, according to Symantec.
It is interesting to note that websites hosting adult/pornographic content are not in the top five, but ranked tenth, Symantec said in the report.

Religious sites want to "save" you, and will do so by any means necessary: they'll lie, cheat, steal, commit horrendous crimes - all in the name of Jesus.
