A method, comprising:
- evaluating a plurality of search results;
- generating an indicia of risk that reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results, wherein the indicia of risk is presented as an icon for each link of the plurality of search results within a graphical user interface of a computer, and wherein each link of the plurality of search results that is associated with a low reputation site is colored differently from other links that are not associated with a low reputation site;
- filtering a particular one of the search results from being provided to the graphical user interface based on a first security threat to the computer;
- removing content from at least one link associated with at least one of the search results, wherein the content is associated with a second security threat to the computer;
- and
- providing at least one alternative link that is not associated with a low reputation site as an alternative recommendation to a link of the plurality of search results that is associated with a low reputation site, wherein the alternative link provides content, products, or services that are related to content, products, or services provided by the low reputation site.

A system, comprising:
- a processor, wherein the system is configured for:
- evaluating a plurality of search results;
- generating an indicia of risk that reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results, wherein the indicia of risk is presented as an icon for each link of the plurality of search results within a graphical user interface of a computer, and wherein each link of the plurality of search results that is associated with a low reputation site is colored differently from other links that are not associated with a low reputation site;
