Thought i should i inform you guys. I recently found about this. Some days ago google announced that it will now warn people if it finds any malware activity on your computer. That's a big step by google, for the first time a search engine will issue warnings about the state of your computer if it is infected or not. Of course its still in its initial stages and can't detect 100% of all malwares. I doubt that it will ever be able to do that. But nonetheless this adds another unique ability to google and will surely be helpful to a lot of people. Did anyone see any warnings yet??
Another great tools from Google.But what makes me think over is "How Google obtains the data from our system and makes it processing for its result" What about our privacy?
Basically google will warn people whose traffic is coming from malicious proxies. And that too, it won't share with anyone. It won't track any personal data:/
Google does not inspect your computer at all and it cannot. Google analyzes traffic based on your search query. It has found, from past experience, certain traffic can be flagged as malware associated with your computer but they have no way of inspecting your computer on their own.
