Google Wants You to Report Malware

darthcamaro writes "As part of its ongoing effort to keep a clean index Google is soliciting the help of web browsers to let them know when we find malware in the index. Celebrated Google hacker Johnny Long thinks it's a good idea, though he told the site Internet News that he doesn't think it'll stop real hackers. From the article: 'Most in search of malware for offensive use know the good stuff — it ain't distributed through public Web ... It's distributed through dark Web servers, peer-to-peer networks, IRC channels, torrents and the like. Google's efforts will not affect how skilled hackers get access to malware.'"

Criticizing the sentence and then showing your lack of expertise in the language? :P

"Use" is not a verb in this sentence. Use as in "I have found a use for this" is a noun.

"Offensive" is used as an adjective describing "use"

"Good" is used to describe "stuff" and in this context it means "good at what it was meant to do". It isn't confusing at all.

It isn't three levels of prepositional phrases. It's three prepositional phrases back to back (which is also not uncommon). "in search" (preposition, object) "of malware" (preposition, object) "for offensive use" (preposition adjective object).

Most (people - understood. common in English)
