G warns on unsafe sites

Quote:

Google has started warning users if they are about to visit a webpage that could harm their computer.
The warning will pop up if users click on a link to a page known to host spyware or other malicious programs.

This is good coming from Google. But if Google know which sites are unsafe why don't they ban them outright? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I think the pop up message will be something like: "hurray! You just got a Trojan on your computer!" and some sponsored links on the anti-spyware software! -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
