Is anybody else getting "This site may harm you computer" when searching via google

[JOrdan01070]

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]

Not seen that one before, will look out for it. Does it cause a problem or can you still go to the site?

I've asked a few people on MSN looks like it's finally freaked out.

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!

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]

it looks like it does not matter what you search for all results come back with "this site may harm your computer".

[cjwhite]

yep I believe its broke.

bound to happen eventually!

 

Shall we try and start a mass migration back to AltaVista?

Monday will be fun if it is not fixed and telling staff at school to use a different search engine.

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]

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!

Anyone e-mailed The Register yet?

[tmcd35]

Oooh, got a new google error when trying to follow a link...

Couldn't resist... but it looks like they've fixed it now.

They probably killed the malware alerter.

Google working again...

Half an hour of Saturday afternoon fun!

[maniac]

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]

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]

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.

According to this site, there is a very similar problem affecting GMail right now. I don;t have an account so can't check.
