What are the green circles with checkmarks on google now?

Question

just recently when i search for something in google it comes up with these green circles nex to the websites with a checkmark in them and some are red with an x in the middle. what are these? does that mean the checked sites are ok and the red ones will give me a virus?

Answer 1

It means that when it is next to a link that that website has no viruses or spyware and stuff like that. BUT when it is red you should not go there because there are  spyware and viruses and stuff on that website.
