This Site May Harm Your Computer.

[TheWalkingMan]

This is the strangest thing. When I use google to look for a site the following message appears: "This site may harm your computer." I even googled 'Thai Visa' and as shown by the graphic and the same thing occurred. I have re-booted the laptop already and the messages are still there. No such messages appear when using yahoo as the search engine and I am using FireFox 3.0.5

This shows up for every site. Am I the only one seeing this?

Thanks,

[eek]

Maybe google is doing some kind of maintenance and its gone a bit crazy..???

[britmaveric]

eek! a mouse (wasn't that a reggae guy's name?)

I think you may be correct. If others are seeing it, then maintenance must be the answer.

Probably clear up overnight.

It looks to have cleared up now - I was having the same issue for the last hour or so - rebooted the laptop and its back to normal now - probably a brain fart from google ???

works fine for me. No problems, no warnings.

Might depend on the internet provider used - only a guess

I tried three Google sites, the default (US), Thai Google and UK Google and didn't see a problem. As mentioned, perhaps a glitch or testing.

That Google bug has been reported on the BBC website

Google nor Google chrome says this .. it is your anti-virus software that says this and maybe it is a false positive or maybe it speaks the truth. You already decided it is telling lies, so what is the point again?

Thanks to bkkmick for the news release.

Hmm...would this be a good example of 'shooting oneself in the foot'?

It would help if you actually read the posted news release.

and the google release is where? I see the BBC version same as the fox news version, where is the real release version from g00gle?

[bkkmick]

Google gave an explanation as to what went wrong. Somebody's going to get a kick in the arse at the GooglePlex, they blacklisted the entire internet. heh.
