Google Warns of Malware
Google is now beginning to warn users of websites containing malware. This is a common this for security software such as the software by McAfee or Norton. Never before has a search engine warned users of this. Search results are still presented by the search engine in a familiar way and do not include information whether a site may include malware such as spyware and Trojans. Instead, Google chose to warn users once they click on the link before entering the website. Google sends a message to the user saying that the website they are about to visit may harm their computer. The user can still navigate to the site if they choose to or they can return to the search page. Another search engine, Scandoo.com is also starting to warn users of malware. Scandoo evaluates the search results and marks the individual results with a logo saying the site may contain malware.
