Be aware that various ad networks and exchanges may have significantly different standards for the prevention and detection of malware. No automatic detection system, however robust, can substitute for your own vigilance. However, we strongly advise against exposing your site to harm by using networks or exchanges without strong anti-malware security measures in place. Ensure your Ad Operations team has an incident response plan in place (for guidance, visit http://www.anti-malvertising.com/tips-for-ad-operations ). Tips for Users: Protect Your Computer, Update Regularly, and Avoid Getting Tricked Make sure your browser, operating system, software and plugins are all updated regularly (enable auto-updates when possible). Be aware that malware can be disguised as antivirus/antispyware software in order to trick people into buying or downloading it. Fake (and harmful) software of this kind is known in the web security community as "rogue security software." How to avoid getting tricked? Always research a company's reputation before downloading its software or visiting its website, and be wary of unexpected warnings from products you haven't installed yourself.

Hi Eric,
If google saves us from Malware, google would be no less than a god. We are so fedup. No antimalware works good enough plus they make the system slow.

The search on "Countess Sophia Tolstoy" has been overtaken by Leah Bendavid-Val with numerous listings of her book "Song Without Words: The Photographs & Diaries of Countess Sophia Tolstoy." Her listings of this title run for the first 5 pages on Google almost exclusively, which discourages people from researching the topic.
I was impressed because I received fir the first time a professional phising & scamming that used Google Profiles code and website to send "secure" direct phising messages to Google users.
The quality of phising is quite impressive from technological background and content quality.
Probably a lot of ppl will trust the Google generated emails to reach profile's owner.
Where could we find ways to protect ourself with our Google Profiles email contact ?
A great article indeed and a very detailed, realistic and superb analysis of the current and past scenarios.
