Personally I am in favour of such extra filtering. At least it might
give some warning for the less careful home users before they download
yet another worm that recruits their machine into a bot-net. If it
means an extra click to follow a link, then so be it. As you say, no
one is forced to use Google, but I imagine that if Google do it, so
will most of the other search engines.
