Google Warns of Malware Pages

Aiding the fight against malware, Google have added a new feature to its search results. Now flagging sites that are suspect of carrying malware, spyware and all other kinds of naughtyware, Google is giving users the option to steer clear by giving them an early warning and offering an alternative search result.



The feature employs a list of known reprobates as determined by the Stop Badware Coalition, of which Google is a member. Upon clicking an offending link, users are presented with a warning and the option to continue or go someplace else.
