Bing malware filter announced



As per a post on the Bing Community blog , Microsoft Search engine "Bing" is adding a
filter that will block malicious pages from coming up on the results. This will reduce the risk of people
getting viruses, spyware, trojans and other malicious software infections on their computers.

One of the causes people get these infections is them entering web pages that either have malware code, or
malicious sofware that the viewer believe is a legitimate application. For example a free anti-virus, game or
any useful freeware. But in reality what the viewer is installing is a malicious software that can infect their
machines and event put in risk confidencial information.
