Google removes malware sites
As previously posted, crafty hackers were seeding malware sites into the results of searches on the major services. InformationWeek reports that Google has cleaned these out:
In response to a concerted effort by cybercriminals to infect the computers of Google (NSDQ: GOOG) users with malware and make them unwitting partners in crime, Google apparently has purged tens of thousands of malicious Web pages from its index.
Google itself has made no comment. There is no way to know how complete the purge has been, so remain on guard.
