MSN Image Search.

As we know you can do a search of images on MSN. There is a system whereby you can unclick the safe mode and by doing so view explicit images. Question; are these images safe to click? Do they contain some nasty viruses and/or spyware when clicked to full view?

You get a lot of redirects - it's annoying and nowhere near as good as other search engines

Just in case anyone else is interested another good image search facility is Altavista.

Sorry Trumpy, missed your question.

Basically, instead of getting the full size image you get sent to a webpage instead.

Did you know that that search engine was started by Arnold Schwarzenegger?

My understanding of safe search is that it filters out explicit nudity

Nothing to do with safe as in virus/trojan/malware free

I read in a computer mag a couple of months ago that over 80 percent of all hacking is now targetted towards safe sites

Nowhere on the internet is safe in reality
