Google Adds Malware Warning

Google has added a warning to help protect your computer. According to the newsletter Spyware Info, "Visitors now are taken to a special warning page, when and if they click on a search result that leads to a malware-infested web site." (See reproduction of warning above, from jopemoro at Flickr.)

Last year, MSN Search took analogous steps to help protect users when it deleted the URLs of known malicious web sites from its search database. Many other popular search engines have yet to catch up.
