The explosion of malicious web sites has created an unsavory situation
for search engines. They may accidentally elevate the ranking of harmful
websites in search results.

Google’s malware alert
**********************

A while ago, Google established a malware detection system for checking
websites to see if they host malware-download applications. If the
algorithm finds malware, it will add the following: “This site may harm
your computer” to the information presented about the website.

Malicious websites do more than download malware. That’s why Google
added another alert. The new warning triggers when the search engine
finds a website where parts or all of it are not under control of the
site’s owner.

Check Google’s database
***********************

If you know the URL of a website and would like to check it against the
Google database, type the name of the website at the end of this URL:

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/d...?site=pqlr.org

i.e. Remove Jenn's web site address and insert another

Jenn may be interested to note that her own site(s) do *not* come up
