Google has launched a couple of new Labs features for Webmaster Tools. One is "malware details" and the other is "fetch as googlebot."
Google is providing snippets of code from pages it considers malware, in order to help webmasters eliminate the malware on their sites quickly.
"To help protect users against malware threats, Google has built automated scanners that detect malware on websites we've indexed," says Google's Lucas Ballard for the Anti-malware, Anti-malvertising, and Webmaster Tools teams. "Pages that are identified as dangerous by these scanners are accompanied by warnings in Google search results, and browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari also use our data to show similar warnings to people attempting to visit suspicious sites."
"While it is important to protect users, we also know that most of these sites are not intentionally distributing malware. We understand the frustration of webmasters whose sites have been compromised without their knowledge and who discover that their site has been flagged," he adds.
