Google has started warning users if they are about to visit a webpage that could harm their computer.

You can see the warning when you perform such search.

read up on that today. i think google should start bringing out a firewall peice of software ! they ahve done everything else !

yeah, then they can bring out an Operating system too. What happens when it starts to incorrectly flag sites? Google is going in a bad direction IMHO. I rate the google product lower and lower.

Theyve started bundling their desktop search with other programs, and if someone hits install, all of a sudden theyve got this crap they dont know how it got there.

Well actually your not far from the truth there!

There are rumours that google are planning to develop an "online" operating system, similar to this one:

The next thing we know they'll be buying out Microsoft

Neither Microsoft nor google is going to work in favour of end users. Its not going to make any difference if google captures Microsoft. In long run we all have to suffer domination of this leaders of Internet. Google has decided to capture online dating market which will end business of more than 10,000 online dating websites. Next target can be hosting market and next and next and next

Online business will come to an end after that and you will once again find people walking with hard copy of purchase orders and invoices in their hands.

Nice bitterness there against Google and MS, i thought i was the only one, fair balls!

Ive been slowly making the switch over to Suse, i have 9.1 Pro and will upgrade to a newer one if and when they support wireless on my laptop more. Ive used ask.com as my main search engine for years. Found over time MS products became way to invasive, so i only use 3rd party stuff. WOuldnt touch google with a barge pole anymore
