google warning about a site - 07-16-2008, 11:15 PM


Has this been going on a while?

Where google puts a warning on it's search results about a possible site...

I like how google gives a warning while the green check next to it says that it's fine with McAffee.

Yeah, I've had it on my computers for quite awhile. It was originally something you had to download, but maybe it snuck in on an update now. It's a handy little thing at times.

I think it depends on how much "spam" they get when they put in an e-mail address. So, you have to use your judgement, too. A site that you want e-mails from will count as a yellow or higher sometimes. I think they also test about spyware, viruses, and such, but not sure.

I don't put much stock in how they categorize sites. They've been known to blackball sites (And shut down Blogspot blogs.) that don't line up with how they feel about the world. Just do a simple search "Google hates ??????" and you'll see what I mean.
