Live Search Webmaster Center Adds Malware Detection

The Live Search Webmaster Center has been updated with malware detection and simplified authentication. The malware detection will report any pages that Live Search’s crawler has found to be infected with malware. When a malware infection has been removed, a re-inclusion request can be made which “should take days, not weeks, to resolve” according to a post on the Live Search Webmaster Center Blog. The Webmaster Center also reports if any of the pages that are linked from the website have been infected with malware. The simplified authentication process allows the use of one authentication code for multiple sites and removes the need to specify if the whether the XML or HTML authentication method is used.
