Distinctive feature of technology that to define presence of viruses, the computer of the user isn't scanned! Instead algorithms Google analyze the data about the traffic which comes on search engine servers.
At the moment, Google does not decide, whether there is a new function constant, but experts say the new feature of Google is able to recognize a wide variety of malicious programs that infect computers working under Windows operating system.
"Recently, in the ordinary course of procedures for improving performance in one of our data centers, we found an unusual type of search traffic," - says an engineer on Google Information Security Demian Mensher.
Google engineers have found that such traffic typically comes from malware infected computers.
The fact that some types of malicious software changing the configuration of your computer so that he missed the entire network traffic, or any part of it through a proxy server owned by criminals. The operating principle of the Google algorithm is based on an analysis of the route by which to transfer data from computer servers at Google. And if this route is questionable, Google displays a message about the danger.
It is necessary to notice that for today Google doesn't offer own antivirus product, and simply informs them on possible infections.
