Typo-squatting - And the Possible Problems It Can Cause

Typo-squatting is when a company registers many domain names with deliberate spelling errors. An example might be www.mivrosoft.com, where the c has been substituted with a v.

The reason companies spend the money to register the names is because they can produce pop-ups ads, introduce malware onto the computer, promote pornography or local dating services and a host of other links and services which can generate money.

Be careful with your typing and if you get to a typo-squat site, close your browser and delete your cookie history.
