Harmful Web Content

In order to combat browser malware installations and make Internet safer, Google is displaying a brief message in the search results next to offending website as follows: This site may harm your computer. You may succeed to get your website to top 10 results but if you get this kind of message next to it, you would want to quickly redesign the website in order to avoid further negative publicity. However not everyone is getting the message. This morning when I run a search for "seo consulting" the current # 4 result showed as follows:
SEO Consultant - Shimon Sandler Blog SEO Consultant ...
This site may harm your computer.
The SEO Consultant must start with understanding the clients’ business and marketing goals to develop the strategy and approach for a winning SEO campaign. ...

The question is that - if Google is a search engine, should it have a role to pass judgement on the websites?

    Following is the advice from Matt Cutts on malware:
    "If you’re a website owner and Google has flagged your site as suspected of serving malware, sometimes it’s because your site served ads with embedded malware. Check if you’ve changed anything recently in how you serve ads. When you think your site is clean, read this post about malware reviews and this malware help topic for more info about getting your site reviewed quickly. Even if your site is in good shape, you might want to review this security checklist post by Nathan Johns."

    With the recent PageRank update, I noticed Google labeled my site as potentially malicious in the SERP’s. Just below where the title tag appears, they inserted this line of text: “This site may harm your computer.” This is totally unfair. How prevalent is this throughout the web. My guess is that they have begun an […]"

    A more constructive approach to improving the experience of users with mobile devices is to make all content flexible. Device-independent design saves money for content providers who only have to manage one copy and one URI, instead of multiple sites for different devices. Content designed this way is also generally easier to maintain over time. Users also benefit since more of the Web becomes available to them in more environments.
