"this site may harm your computer" ???

SkinnyJoe · Jan 31, 2009

Did a search on Google, and every single entry that came back had the disclaimer "this site may harm your computer" underneath.

I restarted the computer (have Deep Freeze on, so allegedly nothing bad stays on my computer after a restart), tried again, and I got the same result.

Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions? Maybe this is Google-specific?

Thanks.

I see the same thing and have switched to Yahoo.

I'm getting it too. Somebody broke Google

Either that, or the entire free world has been infected with some new net nasty that's busy stealing your soul via port 6873. . .

Edit: Looks normal now.

Looks like, Google is up and running now.

I had the same thing, a quick reboot of the ol linux box and back to normal.

I notice this while using the department computer this morning. I'm inclined to think it has something to do with your security/filtering preferences...Appears to pop up on anything that might put a cookie on your computer.

It was Google itself.

Good to know. I had the same issue. It did motivate me to update all my AV software and run scans.
