Safe Browsing (Malware) Diagnostic Tool from Google

Posted by Celia Walter | 30 May, 2008

Barry Schwartz writes:

A week ago Google announced the release of a safe browsing diagnostic tool. 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://searchengineland.com/

Google will then return four sets of security information about that page.
