Breaking the Cycle of Malware

On July 20, 2011, Matthew Prince discussed how Google began notifying users with malware on their PCs and linking them to tools for cleanup. This is an important step in breaking the "cycle of malware," as infected computers are often used by cybercriminals to cause harm online. CloudFlare has also been working towards this goal, helping websites protect themselves from being compromised and informing infected users about their issues. The collaboration between Google and CloudFlare aims to clean up infected PCs and reduce the prevalence of malware-related problems on the internet.
