Google Safe Browsing Diagnostic Page (268 views)

Google’s Safe Browsing Diagnostic Page has been introduced in response to an increased effort by Yahoo and McAfee, the security company, to provide this for Yahoo surfers, to secure Web search engine results. Google has introduced this feature to provide Web masters comprehensive information on sites listed as malicious, thereby protecting the web-surfing public even further and protect the web-surfer from sites with spam, spyware, adware and other malicious software that can infect and damage a user’s PC.

To use the new tool, a site URL is added to the end of this URL
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=
and the information is provided to the user.
