Google virus protection?

I did a google search and clicked the link I wanted. It brought up a google page saying that the the page may be harmful to my computer. It said I could continue at my own risk. I didn't of course but just getting to that page couldn't hurt my computer could it?

Yes, it could. I have McAfee SiteAdvisor and I clicked a link to a web site that was blocked by McAfee SiteAdvisor - a special page from McAfee SiteAdvisor came up explaining why it had blocked this site and what I read in the report for this site shocked me - this particular site would have crashed my computer and, apparently, that is exactly what this malicious web site was designed to do.



You should get McAfee SiteAdvisor - I have the free version and wouldn't surf without it. Also, when you use a search engine such as Google, the majority of the web sites have been analyzed and rated by SiteAdvisor so you will be well informed before you even click on a site. If the site has received a "red" (danger) rating for instance, you can view the site details in the SiteAdvisor report.



Here is the link to download McAfee SiteAdvisor:

If you use Microsoft Windows %26 Microsoft Internet Explorer, then yes! Simply viewing a web page can be enough to infect a Microsoft system.



More secure systems, such as Linux, haven't been hit in this way yet.
I wouldn't think so. Do a virus scan just in case. It is probaly just a warning so I would not worry about it to much.
No. google is telling you that the website you were heading to might be harmful. The goog rocks
GOOGLE ROCKS!!!
yes.



google is the safest search engine
