Google implemented new protection for its users

Last week, Google decided to filter the entire adult content so many websites were removed from Google's index. The battle against illegal sites continues with another important decision: when you'll search Google for some specific illegal content, you'll be redirected to a warning page that informs you about the risks assumed for visiting the page.

"Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer! Return to the previous page and pick another result or try another search to find what you're looking for. Or you can continue to http://www.****.com/ at your own risk," Google says in the advisory.

What exactly does this alert means? Google informs you that the site you were trying to visit was reported to StopBadware.org as a webpage that contains malware or other infected files.

"The website you attempted to visit has been reported to StopBadware.org as a site that hosts or distributes badware. You landed on this page because members of the public reported this website to StopBadware.org as hosting or distributing badware. Though our researchers have not yet reviewed this website, once they do, this warning page will be replaced with a detailed report on the site's badware," StopBadware says.

This new implementation made by Google is very important for the Internet security we all need. Imagine that, even without a security solution installed, you'll be advised that visiting a certain site can harm your computer.
