Google has started warning some users of malware on their computers. The company says it found unusual search traffic coming through proxies. The malware causes infected computers to send traffic to Google through the proxies. Google hopes to work with users to help them update their antivirus software and remove the infections. Security expert: “I think what Google is doing should be applauded, as anything which warns computer users about genuine malware threats has to be a good thing. But, sadly and inevitably, there is the potential for cybercriminals to mimic the Google warning,” he says.”]
