TheWalkingMan Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 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, TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWalkingMan Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 same for me. Maybe google is doing some kind of maintenance and its gone a bit crazy..??? 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. TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damman2 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 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 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfact Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) works fine for me. No problems, no warnings. Might depend on the internet provider used - only a guess Edited January 31, 2009 by webfact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, TheWalkingMan 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkmick Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
