Computer security software provider Norton Symantec has released a list of the 100 most dangerous websites on the internet, and has warned businesses to ensure they have property security to avoid being affected by malware.

The list of the top 100 dirtiest websites contain large amounts malware - malicious software designed to attack a person's computer to either obtain private information, or control it for another purpose.

While some of the sites have benign names - one is called kingfamilyphotoalbum.com - simply visiting one of the websites on the list would most likely result in a computer being infected with malware or other viruses. Hackers could use these viruses to obtain information from the computer by installing "keyloggers" - software which monitors and records each keystroke made.
