Good old Google champion of the internet and soon to be supreme over lord of all electronics. Well maybe not but they have a good start. It's just too bad Websense picked up on this and not Google themselves. I would much rather have a free malware filter from Google then pay Websense's exorbant fees to use their filter.

Go Google! Getting their hand dirty in the dark world of malware, lets hope that they stick it out, and clean up this neighbourhood, and that the end user see's some changes to the way they search the net and if it will affect them... lets hope so
I wonder what google will think of next?

Just think in X years time when we are all hooked up with our neural lace implants Google will be able to spring clean our minds of unauthorised/pervy/depraved thoughts. Woot!

Shouldn't be long before we see in Google's Preferences page a box marked "Do not in clude pages that link to malware". If people stop visiting pages because malicious content linked there, people might think twice about having it on their page.

Unfortanately this falls down with the piracy scene as people will always want free programs and will go anywhere to get them, regardless of the other content on the page.

They've done so much good... there's *got* to be something sketchy going on behind the scenes or in the works. No company their size does that much good... it's just unamerican.

Yes, that "Do not include pages that link to malware" option would be a nice touch. Oops, they just blocked myspace!
