I am getting the same here...every result for every search having This site may harm your computer.

[crankydave]

Yep same here. I just posted a topic in the breakroom about "SuperBowl Odds".

The adwords ads aren't tagged... naturally. Wonder what's going to get clicked on?

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

I found the same thing this morning..some search words come up with the notice some do not! Makes no sense but what I did notice is that ALL the results for that page come up with that notice not just one link. Not good!

[crankydave]

Appears to be corrected... at least here.

Dave

[chandrika]

Fixed here too,

Wow, I wonder what the programmer who made the error is doing right now.

[asimkhaliq]

Yes now its corrected. I saw google server was down before thats why it was showing this msg but the thing is how big the damage has already done. I was not getting any single visitor from google when they had this error.

[DannyHerian]

Im still getting the same results, also when i try to access my Google webmasters tools I get a page I get "
We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application." and the Capcha.

Google should stick to their core which is search, and stop trying to be everybody's mother.....

Their rush to try to overtake anything related to the internet has exposed their business poor processess and inexperienced management team.

As I predicted a couple years ago.. Google is becoming the next Microsoft.......but who didn't see that coming??

Your are right, If they want to diversify then start business with some other name, why they are trying to do everything on their search engine. There has to be some restriction on businesses. Take an example of Walmart; selling everything but cheap quality and poor customer service.

[Martinscholes]

I noticed a drop in Google search visits to my site. First time that Yahoo visits beat Google.

[NetMassimo]

It seems that this issue cause quite a panic around the world judging from the comments I read. We're so taking Google for granted that if there's something wrong with it a lot of people don't know what to do.

[shakir]

The problem was on yesterday evening only for 1.5 hrs. after became OK.... And also it was a big news on the news paper( our local news paper telling some problem or google somebody try to hack it...) I thing Google is doing some experiment on SE result

"For a lot of people, Google is their Internet," Olds added. "It was a misstep for Google, but there were other search engines out there that were functioning fine. I ended up using yahoo and Microsoft search for the first time in a long time and was fine. That's where the wake-up call comes in. This isn't a critical problem for Google, but it shows the benefit we get from having choices on the Web."

[skbcabey]

i remembered someone saying that google got hacked.. is this true??

[wige]

Not a hack - from what I understand, when they uploaded the latest list of malware filters, one of the entries was simply "url LIKE '/'". Since every URL Google indexes contains a "/", every page in the index triggered the warning.
