JOrdan01070 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 As the tile says any search via google brings up this message even if you put "google" in is any body else getting this.
leco Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Not seen that one before, will look out for it. Does it cause a problem or can you still go to the site?
NeoPlosive Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 http://repository.neoplosive.co.uk/edugeek/images/GooglesFreakedOut.JPG I've asked a few people on MSN looks like it's finally freaked out.
mrcrazy04 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 You can't go to the site, and I'm affected also. If you do a search for "Google" it reports every Google site as malicious. I just tried phoning their UK offices, but they're shut! Not sure if I want to spend 11p a minute to phone their headquarters as I haven't figured which email address or form to fill in to contact them online!
maniac Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Just noticed this when searching for wikipedia
somabc Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Yes just had that trying to access wikipedia Malware Warning
maniac Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I think google is a bit broken, as it reports every single site in any search as 'this may harm your computer.' whoops! can't be good for business that.
JOrdan01070 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 it looks like it does not matter what you search for all results come back with "this site may harm your computer".
cjwhite Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 yep I believe its broke. bound to happen eventually! Shall we try and start a mass migration back to AltaVista? )
NeoPlosive Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 What's the Google stocks like at the moment
JOrdan01070 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Monday will be fun if it is not fixed and telling staff at school to use a different search engine.
NeoPlosive Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Monday will be fun if it is not fixed and telling staff at school to use a different search engine. Please. Don't even got there.
tmcd35 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 LOL, just got this message! Switched tab back here While I wait for my page to load and see this thread with 10 reply's! Is Alta-vista still going? If it is I might join you CJWhite! I noticed no one has suggested using Live Search instead
mrcrazy04 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I even tried phoning Google in the US (took me a while to figure out international dialling) and managed to get nowhere. Need to find the extension of network operations!
tmcd35 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Oooh, got a new google error when trying to follow a link...
NeoPlosive Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Anyone e-mailed The Register yet? Couldn't resist... but it looks like they've fixed it now.
NeoPlosive Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Oooh, got a new google error when trying to follow a link... They probably killed the malware alerter.
NeoPlosive Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Google working again... Half an hour of Saturday afternoon fun!
maniac Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I expect someone at Google is getting a bit of a telling off now. I wonder how much revenue they lose with a half hour effective outage like that? Someone somewhere will work it out I'm sure!
Face-Man Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I'd like to see their advertising revenue for the last half hour... I suspect it may just have cost the company a few million
mrcrazy04 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 It seems they may have got a bit frantic turning various things off and back on, the ads disappeared temporarily, and once they got to work the malicious software messages disappeared and reappeared.
AngryTechnician Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 According to this site, there is a very similar problem affecting GMail right now. I don;t have an account so can't check.
