Google took the initiative of attack on malware by blocking the entire co.cc subdomain. The move removed 11million results from the Google search index and is expected to drastically clean up malware in search results.
Co.cc which is classified by Google as a "freehost", is owned by a Korean company that allows bulk purchase of domains, offers domains for free or offers them very cheap.
A scan performed by Google on the domain co.cc revealed that a very high percentage of their sites contained malware.
This change made by Google is welcome and should make it much easier to sift through search results in future.
