When I do Google searches, sometimes the websites I reach gives me messages like my computer is infected. Are those sites real trouble?
Is there a way to let Google know they are trouble for users?
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Many websites that show such fake messages are trying to get you to buy anti-virus or spyware removal software. Others are actually trying to scare you into downloading malware of their own, to infect your computer. If you have valid, up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware tools you should be fine ignoring them. If you don't you should buy and/or download legitimate protective software as soon as possible. You can report such websites to Google at http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ .
