Loco it is called Marketing. If you could come up with a Search Engine that
does not return pages which are known malware providers I suggest to you
that could be a marketing advantage. I also suggest to you that could lead
to the demise of the prevalence of malware on the Net. Ignoring this issue
has got us in this boat. Believe it or not People are humans and they make
mistakes. All the time. That is what the malware makers depend on. Maybe
it is too difficult to combat them I don't know. But the request for such
technology in Search Engines is not a request for Bill Gates to do sqaut.
It is a request for the larger Internet Community to come up with a way of
fighting back. And a defensive posture is NOT fighting back all that is is
a white flag. We need to go on the attack.
