A report has been released by Google that approximately, one in ten web pages contain malware.

Their research team sampled 4.5 million pages and they have found that 450,000 pages contain a script which installs malicious codes. The codes include trojans and spyware. 700,000 more pages are thought to have malicious codes in it too.

The researchers hope that these results will help developers on making safe surfing tools to prevent users from landing into one of the malicious web pages.

The Google team said that malware can be inserted in legitimate sites by using a variety of ruses.
