"This Site May Harm your computer" MERGED

Sarn · 2009-01-31 15:06:45

Anyone else getting this at the moment when they search in Google? Every search term I put in throws up "This Site May Harm your computer". Is this the end of the internet as we know it?

I had that too, I don't save any sites, I just Google 'Boards' and click on it, of course it said 'This may harm your computer' and it wouldn't let me on.

Had to actually type it :P

I believe that appears when a website has links/contains malware. But as Gordon says, its just google cock-up

Sad thing is this "event" will be more discussed in the next 12-18 hours than anything else on the web. Loosers we are.

Todd Gardner was cool, he was a musician, a painter, a sculptor, an attorney, a CEO and I haven't scrolled down yet

For the record: a lot of the sites that get that warning about them, have been found to contain the "Anti-virus 2008/2009" virus application. Once you link onto a site that is genuinely infected, it passes right away to your machine. There is an ultimate safe way to open such sites but its long-winded and not easy for amateurs.
