Approximately 2 years ago, Google started integrating malware warnings into their search results to warn searchers about risky sites before they visit them. Being 2 years behind Google (the leader in search technologies), Microsoft has finally decided to identify malicious sites in their search results by showing clear warnings beside each suspicious site listing. Well, it is never too late to follow the footsteps of industry leaders.

Christian Seifert, Software Design Engineer, Live Search Anti-Spam & Anti-Malware Team says, "The web can be a dangerous place; there are threats around every corner. In recent years, threats coming from web pages have significantly
increased, from malicious programs hosted on web pages, to downloads
that manipulate your computer and steal your personal information. In
the past, these threats mainly came from questionable websites, but
today even reputable sites can turn bad, which means that everyone is
at risk for malware."

Let's appreciate Microsoft's efforts in fighting malicious sites and protecting their searchers. Hopefully, these efforts will help to gain some search marketing shares for Microsoft.
