Is Google Working For You?

[dg]

For every search I've done today, I get a link under each result that says "This site may harm your computer". To test it, I search for JCF, Google, etc. and still get that message. When I click on any of the search results, it redirects me to a warning page that won't let me get to where i want to go. The only way I can use Google is to copy & paste the links. Is anyone else noticing this, or can you do a quick check & let me know? I checked one site that says Google is trying to implement this warning system, and that it may be screwed up, but I'm trying to rule out a malware infection or something like that.

I've seen this on several occasions today, several, but not all.

Thanks, Pat. I just checked Twitter and a couple news sites and looks like it's them. Some people are already freaking out.

I just got it.
I thought it was a virus itself...

I just did a system restore to three days ago and now it works normally.
I'm going to do a Windows update and a full scan before I do much else though.

It's working OK now. Looks like it lasted about 45 minutes or so.

It works fine for me. I'm running Norton Internet Security and I run Spybot Search and Destroy regularly.

Sounds like you guys have some malware on your PCs.

Yes, it's happening on Google UK too.

Nah, it was them, but it only lasted for a while this morning.

Cool, glad to hear it. A few people had work had a problem with malware and Google over the last few weeks.
