Since the invention of internet in the early 90s cases of malwares(virus) has been on the increase . So,Six years ago Google announced
the release of a safe browsing
diagnostic tool. It is so sadonic that most of internet user don't know about this. To use the tool,
just append a URL to the end of
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=.
For example, to test this site, you
would enter
http://
www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://Nairaland.com/
Google will then return four sets
of security information about
that page.
(1) The current listing status of a
site and also information on how
often a site or parts of it were
listed in the past.
(2) The last time Google analyzed
the page, when it was last
malicious, what kind of malware
Google encountered and so
fourth.
(3) Did the site facilitated the
distribution of malicious
software in the past?
(4) Also, has the site has hosted
malicious software in the past?
Safebrowse, save your phone/computer, save your money.
