Google Cheating? Or Google Safe Browsing?

Hi everyone, is Google Cheating?

I love the way Google tries to protect you in chrome. It will give you a nice big red screen to say do not go here…. Its dangerous…. We found malicious code on the website. All of the good things to get the normal end user running for the hills. It just so happens they once picked up that I had an iframe injected into this blog and they removed the flow of traffic for a while.

Google Cheating?

Not everything is as it seems though…..

Google's page for safer browsing

Obviously we can all be a sucker at some point

What do we find on this page that is alarming…..

  1. 14 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.
  2. Malicious software includes 231 trojan(s), 68 exploit(s), 13 worm(s).
  3. Successful infection resulted in an average of 13 new process(es) on the target machine.
  4. Malicious software is hosted on 23 domain(s), including viralblog.com/, workwithyourbrain.com/, oblik2day.com/.
  5. 13 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including clicksor.com/, truelovexcsarnoff.blogspot.com/, googletubes.blogspot.com/.

Pretty scary stuff right considering you were just searching on Google.

How about this for a closing thought….

Why when I visited Google I never got the big red stop this is a dangerous webpage?  Surely 231 trojan’s constitutes dangerous?  Is this another example of Google Cheating it’s systems to suit itself?
