Google: defends against viruses

Google began to alert when it detects malicious software on your computer, and turn anti - virus remove it


Google - now also antivirus. No, the Internet giant still has not released an important security product, but she also began to warn when it identifies your computer to harmful software pasted popular. And when people infected with the software came in one day from Google, they received a message tells them that their computer is in danger, along with a link to a tool that removes the software (malware) that. Company blog explained one of the Google security engineers how the company began to identify malware. He said that when Google's men conducted a routine infrastructure work at their farm, discovered strange search patterns. After checking with security companies, it appears that a popular malware "hijacking" the traffic is supposed to get pasted from Google servers, and running it through a third party server. Google did not explain why the information is transferred, but we can assume that the reason is tracking users, and try to intercept information that they transmit on the network. This is one of the first cases detected in those problematic users' computers is an outside company doing it voluntarily, without having pasted on the computer security software installed. Common security solutions today did spend part of their network activities, to streamline the process for identifying viruses, but still rely on the client computer so that software installed. So is Google today launched a new and wonderful era where not to install security software? Not exactly. As explained to the engineers - they found the malware in the case after it has created a pattern suspicious company servers. In most cases, malware network activity takes place in the direct channel between the computer stuck with a dedicated server set up by manufacturers of malware.
