And what sites are considered unsecure?

**PeterLancs** · 08-07-2006, 11:48 AM

sites such as Serial.ws that give software serials out and give you spyware

Then why doesn't google remove them entirely?

**PeterLancs** · 08-07-2006, 07:45 PM

Because they don't want to actually keep people from going to the sites (i.e. censoring them) just warn people what they are getting into.

Plus, if the sites have Adsense on them...less money for them.

Nice find

Very interesting, that's certainly a good thing I think.

It will certainly protect a lot of people against spyware!
