Google has just announced something pretty interesting, it can now detect if your PC is infected with malware. It’s a clever bit of code that just quietly watches for unusual activity. That it is using its own data to detect viruses and will as of today be using Google Search results pages to warn users if their computers are infected with a specific form of malware. At the moment it only detects one strain of malware, but since it’s transparent and non intrusive it’s a good thing. Also, this is only relevant to Windows.
Users infected with the virus, which is apparently rerouting traffic to Google and other sites through a proxy, will see the below warning.
So if you see this message, your PC is probably infected with malware. Google suggests some steps to remove it.This is the first time major search engine turns its results pages into what is ostensibly a malware alarm.
