Google Chrome malware protection

Google recently released a new web browser - Google Chrome, with some very interesting new feature. I had the privilege to benefit from one of them - protection from Malware. I visited Haris Ibrahim's People's Parliament with the Google Chrome just a short while ago, and clicked on a link to Citizen Think Tank and received a warning:
