How to Use Google Safe Browsing to Get Instant Messages

Google's Safe Browsing tool is integrated with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. This tool lets you know if a site has been reported to be infected with malware, and gives you a warning before proceeding. You can also use the Safe Browsing tool to receive an instant on-screen message regarding the safety of the site in the past 90 days. This is helpful if you want a detailed record of the site's safety, or if you're using a browser other than Chrome or Firefox.
