Google has taken the unprecedented step of warning millions of users whose PCs it believes are infected with fake security software and other malware, the company said yesterday. But some security experts are leery of Google's move.
The warning appears as a bright yellow banner that reads "Your computer appears to be infected," at the top of the page after users conduct a search with Google.
"It appears that your computer is infected with software that intercepts your connection to Google and other sites," the alert continues. The alert also includes a link to a help page that provides more information on the alert and infection, as well as advice about how to remove the malware.
