Google Acquires Security Company, GreenBorder

Googlified reports that Google has acquired GreenBorder Technologies, an online security company, on May 11, 2007.

Ionut adds that GreenBorder protects against virus, spyware, and trojan threats by watching the Internet session from the rest of the PC and earlier Internet sessions. If GreenBorder protects an application, the application would be highlighted in green.

It is possible that Google may use their technologies to detect sites with these threats and display more advanced malware warnings in the future.
