Uncle Google

[bryant]

Google is now scanning pages for malware, and if they find any they'll let you know about it. Kind of an interesting development. I assume this'll show up as a Firefox extension and be integrated into Google Toolbar soon. "Are you sure you want to visit that page?"

Either that, or they'll sell it to McAfee?

McAfee has that covered with Site Advisor. You have an item on your menu bar that is either green (the site checks out), yellow (they dunno), or red (might be bad). On what might be bad sites, it pops up a warning box.
