Google Webmaster Tools continues to improve its features.  The Google Online Security Blog just announced that Webmaster Tools will provide webmasters with samples of the malicious code that Google’s automated scanners detected on their sites.

From this post:

We’re happy to announce that we’ve launched a feature that enables Google to provide even more detailed help to webmasters. Webmaster Tools now provides webmasters with samples of the malicious code that Google’s automated scanners detected on their sites. These samples — which typically take the form of injected HTML tags, JavaScript, or embedded Flash files — are available in the “Malware details” Labs feature in Webmaster Tools. Registered webmasters (registration is free) of infected sites do not need to specially enable the feature — they will find links to it on the Webmaster Tools dashboard. Webmasters will see a list of their pages that we found to be involved in malware distribution and samples of the malicious content that Google’s scanners encountered on each infected page. In certain situations we can identify the underlying cause of the malicious code, and we’ll provide these details when possible. We hope that the additional information will assist webmasters and help prevent their visitors from being exposed to malware.

If you haven’t signed up for Google Webmaster Tools, what are you waiting for?
