Google Fighting Malware

I was listening to some music tonight and having a good ol time when I wanted to look up the lyrics for a song. I typed in my usual one line of lyrics and the artist name in Google and watched as the results poped up. I picked one of the top 3 choices and clicked the link only to be stunned by the response.

Google Fights Malware

Google is now marking sites that contain spyware or malware. Wow, this is big. Censorship issues aside, this is pretty interesting. Google is now checking out sites and will warn you if they contain known malware or spyware. As a Network Admin who is forced to watch his people use IE I am very pleased to see this. The other part of me that fears Google wonders what is next.

This is awsome!! It’s about time someone took a stand on malware and did something about it. I just hope they don’t censor the good stuff along the way!!
