Live Search Now Detects Malware

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

You know when you search Google and you get a little red note above a search listing that a particular listing may contain malware or other malicious software? Well, Live Search is once again catching up to Google in another area. It is now able to detect malware on your website and any website you link to. That’s good news for searchers, but it’s also good news for webmasters.

You may inadvertently include malware on your website in a number of ways. If you borrow a script from another source and fail to clean it properly then you could be feeding your site visitors with malicious code and that’s bad. But now you can have that detected by the search engines, both Google and MSN Live Search.
