Yes it is an online tool by Google to check the site for malicious threats. There is nothing needed in that. You can just type malicious check in the Google search box and you will be provided with a site. In that site you have to provide url of the suspicious site and that will be scanned by Google online. The results will be displayed at once.

It is Google Automatic detection service which scan suspicious websites for malware threats. This program is called as Safe Browsing Diagnostic. It is not a software neither a third party tool but a online service by Google. It is fully functional now and provides proper data about the site. By this you can secure your habit of web browsing.

Just you have to here is type google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site= in the address bar along with the name of a site which you want to scan out. So your url will be google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.techarena.in and hit enter. You will get a page of Google results which will give out a accurate data of the site.

When you hit enter on the url of the Google malicious checker you get information like what is the current listing of a website. What is the malware detection procedure carried out by Google and the detections found in the site. This also information that does the site offers any malware in past 90 days. This makes a user more aware of the same.

Re: How to use Google Malware Check
I will too recommend you to use this service. Just add your url after google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site= and press enter. It will scans for Trojans or exploits in the site and give-out a proper indication for the same. The result clearly denotes that the site is OK or it is an wrong area to enter. The issue with this is that it works in the gaps of 90 days so it is really hard to get the current status of the site.
