Return of Porn-Fetching 'YapBrowser' Raises Eyebrows
Ryan Naraine writes on eWeek:

The YapBrowser, also known as YapSearch or YapCash, now comes with an odd claim that users can expect protection from harmful exploits and viruses.
The site hosting the browser download originates from Russia and includes an "adult version" that lets users search for and browse pornography-themed content for free.
The site even offers a "100% guarantee" that no malicious system infection will occur when using the software, but security researchers tracking the seedier side of the Internet have flagged YapBrowser as a serious threat to computer users.
