Google can now detect malware and malicious code from your site

Sometimes, malicious code and malware code sneak into webpages, and webmassters only know when its too late, like a ban on Google index and the like. Altough these are rare occurances, which result mainly due to insecure servers and badly scripted pages, it was never easy to detect them.

Google has taken a new step that will make malware/malicious code detection on webpages easier. If you use Google Webmaters tool, the new “Fetch as Google” tool available under the “Labs” tab will help you find malicious code in the URL you suggest.

Its easy to use and effective. So, it would make sense to check it once a while..can’t trust all the plugins and scripts you use right ?
