Google Saves Me This I Know
Here's a new one from Google! I was searching for "lemon juice hair rinse" (oh, don't ask!). Beneath one of the search return listings was the link statement: "This site may harm your computer."
Clicking on the link (not to the website, obviously!), I learned that Google has added a warning which "appears with search results we've identified as sites that may install malicious software on your computer. The information page then goes on to say, "If you click the title of the result, you'll be shown the following warning rather than being taken immediately to the webpage in question."
Further information is also give about avoiding the installation of malware on your computer, and also for website owners who might not be aware that their sites have been compromised by the addition of third party downloaders!
