Google announced back in November of 2006 that they would be making efforts
to protect users by identifying dangerous sites (those containing malware for
example) through notifications in their
Webmaster Tools section.
According to the official Google Webmaster Central Blog, they are now including
more detailed information and notifying sites of issues via email.
Google now not only flags suspect sites but now shows example URLs that have
been determined to be dangerous - very helpful since malicious content can often
be hard to find.
According to the official announcement "By providing example URLs,
webmasters are one step closer to diagnosing the problem and ultimately
re-securing their sites." Kudos to Google for their continued support
of both end-users and the webmaster community.
