| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | radine3d | 4/14/11 8:24 PM | Hmm...forget this, loupiote. The Google can't police the web. At least it shouldn't, I think, for its own good. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | loupiote | 4/14/11 8:38 PM | i really disagree on that one. google has a responsibility to limit the risk of propagating malware through it search results. it already has some features to warn users that the site they are about to visit will harm their computer or infect them wi |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | loupiote | 4/14/11 8:41 PM | and frankly this is a serious issue. i don't think this belongs to "chit-chat". google propagating malware through its search result is the problem that the google "search quality team" it working on. this thread should probably be moved to the "Ima |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | radine3d | 4/14/11 8:54 PM | So, why did you post your question in the this section? |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | webado | 4/14/11 8:56 PM | I will miove it and escalate it. Thanks for reporting it. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | loupiote | 4/14/11 8:58 PM | i didn't. i posted it in the "malware" section. - i was not sure if it needed to be posted in the "malware" or in the "image" section. i am reporting actual cases of malware result on the first SERP on a very popular search (the semana santa festival |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | radine3d | 4/14/11 9:06 PM | Now it's Ok, your question is in the right place.Anyway, the Google isn't the Interpol, nor the CIA, at least I hope. Google's goal is to find, not to hide. Create your own software to hide things and become a billionaire. I'm, already |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | webado | 4/14/11 9:08 PM | I don't know who first moved it from Malware to Chit-chat. I moved it to Malware now. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | webado | 4/14/11 9:14 PM | It's unfortunate that the Google Image index isn't as well tuned into malware detection as the general index. Unsuspecting searchers clicking an image will get exposed instantly to a malicious landing page. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | radine3d | 4/14/11 9:15 PM | I know.This guy loupiote is a fine guy and tells the what's right. But the Google can't possibly police two trillions of pages. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | webado | 4/14/11 9:19 PM | Hopefully it can - at least to the same extent they are policed in the general index. Mind you those 2 sites are not currently listed as malicious. Time to report them Lou. |

| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | radine3d | 4/14/11 9:41 PM | @lou Nah. All ought to have a limit. Think waht u says. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | webado | 4/14/11 9:56 PM | Lou, Google won't be guessing at where you've run into malware, just because you're using Chrome or have the Google toolbar installed. You have to report it since their scanners have not caught up with it. Do your best with the urls. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | loupiote | 4/14/11 9:59 PM | well, with chrome, people can opt-in to let google know their browsing activity, so that google can improve their service. it's built-in chrome. Googlebot cannot determine if a site is infected, because that involves Javascript, and in most cases, Go |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | loupiote | 4/14/11 10:03 PM | @webado i found about 3000 malware-infected blogger blogs (hosted by google) just by going through my server logs from the last 2 weeks, looking at malicious machine-generated blogs hotlinking my images. there is no way i will spend days entering tho |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | webado | 4/14/11 10:26 PM | How do you know they were malware infected without visiting them? Google does have scanners that detect malicious behaviours (iframed content from known infected sites, javascript redirection to known infected sites, server-side redirections to kno |

| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | loupiote | 4/14/11 10:32 PM | i'm not either. the people running into them are the people doing searches with google-image. |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | Kaleh | 4/15/11 6:20 AM | I'm, personally, tired of beating my head against a wall, trying to figure out exactly what to "report" with the "Report malicious software" form. There is an ever increasing amount of malicious image results that are tricky and sneaky and it is not |
| Re: google image search results often has multiple infected / malware sites on the first SERP page | loupiote | 4/15/11 7:05 AM | @Kaleh i completely agree with what you are saying here. see also this thread: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=3929aaab2bc3254e&hl=en |
