The beta version of Yahoo's SearchScan security feature has come under fire for false positives and other mistakes.
SearchScan is the result of a partnership between McAfee and Yahoo to improve the security of Web searches. The feature, powered by McAfee's SiteAdvisor, alerts users when sites contain spam, spyware, adware or other malicious software that could damage a PC.
However, since the beta was unveiled May 6, there have been some cases of false positives. A URL mix-up by Yahoo seemed to label Google.com as a malicious site. In another case, AnyCoupons, a Web site operated by 77Blue, was classified as a spammer. Though both issues have been resolved, the latter left a bad taste in the mouth of 77Blue CEO David Lewis, who complained that Yahoo and McAfee were slow to fix the problem.
