I found out a fake website boasting itself as Google.com! That too appeared from Google accounts when I clicked on from one Google account to enter into another Google account. Yes, I tried to get Google Documents from GMail - signed in. Unlike any Google website, that website did not have the multicolored design present before its URL in the address box (of Mozilla Firefox). On clicking on the dull design, Mozilla Firefox alerted me as follows:
'The web site does not supply identity information. Your connection to this website is not encrypted.'I proceeded then to click on its --> More information --> Page Info about the website --> Security tab --> View Cookies --> Cookies.
On the Cookies box I selected the Google.com cookies from the list displayed and removed them all together. Then I closed the fake web-site's page and signed out of GMail. After this, that fake website doesn't appear again and now I prefer to sign in directly into Google Documents account without entering it from GMail account.
