Google has begun alerting users whenever they click on a search result that may take them to a dangerous Web site. The new feature, which had been spotted earlier this week, goes live officially Friday, according to an announcement from The Stop Badware Coalition, which is collaborating with Google on this effort.

When users attempt to click over to a Web site considered to be potentially dangerous, Google shows users an alert page that informs them of the possible risk and gives them the option to click back to the results page or continue on to the questionable Web site.

is dis google dat add new feature consume more memory?

lol...NOPE

It's a warning site [a website]

When you search for something using google, and when you click on the link, if google find its a malicious or malware sites [ie:spyware, warez sites], you'll be redirected to a warning site before you can continue

Gamesky, pls PM me the link, would like to try also.
Searched google banging keywords but to no avail...

And in case for those who haven't seen it before, here's the picture.

As GameSky said, unlike your Doom 3 or Microsoft Office, it's a server side application (processing is done on google server)

It is possible that the site loads slower (rather unoticable i believe) but definitely not consume extra memory on your machine.

its a great feature especially for my mom.

i was looking for warezsomething the other day and google warned me of the possible threat. good feature

Well, it is a good new feature for safer internet surfing. Good Job Google!

At least it is newbie friendly

now newbies won't get affected by adware/spyware easily with google ..unless they keep continue though

This thing like MCafee site advisor for IE and FireFox

eh...just googling p0rn site, click on the link but it doesn't warm me ler? so it aims for malicious coded page but not acts as a content censorship board.

Since when was this new feature designed to prevent your innocent mind from being tainted? It's to prevent malware/adware/spyware/badware, and not undesirable content.

Read the link in the first post or here and maybe your conscience can be cleared.

it would be nice if future build could incorporates content warning to prevent those NSFW sites esp. during office hour

Maybe what we Surfers can do is to suggest that to Google and report "Unsightly" sites. Then, maybe this whole idea might become feasible.

yeah, u r rite, as my company surfing policies is quite stringent, so with the filteration system in place could help in preventing innocent workers unintentionally jump to those NSFW ("not safe frm work") sites.

Google is working with StopBadware.org, you can always report malicious sites/applications to them so that it will be updated in google results once it is proven malicious
