Spammers evade detection with temporary Web sites

Cybercriminals are evading detection by anti-virus and anti-malware vendors by putting up malicious sites that are live for just one day or less.

AVG Research found that in the last quarter of 2008, about 60 percent of new sites linked to malware were up for less than one day — and the average number of such temporary Web sites grew from between 100,000 and 200,000 to between 200,000 and 300,000.

Using short-lived Web sites and pages makes it more difficult to track and stop malware authors, all while delivering fake antispyware (”scareware”) to victims.

It's going to get to the point newbies won't have a chance on the WWW!! Even seasoned surfers get caught up in the web. It's getting to be like a mind field when you surf the web.

Ya I know I ran into one of those sites last month. I couldn't stop it from installing except by using ctrl alt delete. Well I don't know if it was a one dayer but it was a site like that, came out of the blue in google.
