it will redirect you to a URL like
http://www.google.ie/interstitial?url=http://www.test.com/
just delete out the first bit and you will have the proper site

Google is working ok from this end ( uk)

other people on other irish sites complaining but perhaps it's just temporary loss

Copy and paste the found URL into URL address bar, and you can still go to the site.

Not sure what the "This site may harm your computer." is all about though, as it shows up for every site found with google search.

Pain in the arse if you're trying to image search tho....

I'd say some poor programer is getting a right bollocking in google right now :P

But the ' this site may harm your computer ' has just appeared now on google (uk)

The BBC ran a story on it. Apparently it's all fixed now.
