[Merged] Google: This site may harm your computer?

[girlstar]

I googled something (itchy ears) out of my Firefox 3.0.5 browser but every site (even if I google "Google") has beneath it "this site may harm your computer" and when I click the link it goes to a google page (with a google address in the address bar) saying it may not be safe and to go to the google statistic diagnostic page. What's this about? I can't view these pages unless I copy and paste the URL posted in the google notice.

Was doing some searching on Google and I see the caption "This site may harm your computer" on a lot of the results (actually every site on the first ten pages alone). I've never noticed before and I'm sure it wasn't there.

Google refers your to stopbadgeware.org for information but the site yields a "Page Load Error" which is of no use.

So it's not my computer!

I was just about to post this. I have a feeling google got hacked. I've been running scans for the past 20 mins.

I use Firefox as well, tried it in IE and same thing.

Yep, either an app gone bad or they got targeted.

I was going to post the same question.

With the exception of a link leading to books.google.ca, every result for 'samba "map hidden"' has the 'this site may harm your computer' link beneath it.

Even kittens are harmful! What is the world coming to??

[rpeatt]

Omg google is broke the world will end

[Snicla]

Too bad, I always preferred google.

[MacGyver]

It's a world wide problem.

Trying to go to the stopbadware.org site won't work because it's getting absolutely HAMMERED by half the planet trying to access it at once!

msn search works.

Wow I thought it was just wikipedia that got hacked and marked unclean, but it seems to be every google search results.

Would hate to be the IT guy that has to fix this or the programmer that introduced the bug/flaw.

Seems to only be happening with google.ca... Never mind happening on both.
