When searching in Google, Bing or Yahoo green ticks will display against the search result for any website that is safe to view. If a website is unsafe, a red exclamation mark will appear next to it.
In Internet Explorer and Firefox this website will be totally blocked, so clicking on it will display a message explaining why you can't access it. In Chrome the website can still be accessed, but you would be foolish to do so.
