Google safety warnings on every site?

[Sput]

Is it just me or is google refusing to let ANY site you search for be accessed because it may be harmful to your computer? No way to proceed at all! When I click "show report" it comes up with a server error.

I was just about to create this thread! Weird, isn't it. Surprised BBC News etc haven't reported on it.

My guess is it's their idea of getting a 100% 'bad website' match rate

A screenshot for posterity:

Dear god, you're right cdd Even googling google bring up the warning, unless I broke the internet by doing that and it's ALL MY FAULT.

Oh I do wish I had come here half an hour ago, I've been trying all manner of things to get rid of this.

Most bizarre. I've tried google.de /fr etc and it's happening there too.

Database issues?

Yeah rod, maybe they should reboot their mysql server.

News is gradually beginning to filter through - if you do a Google news search on it: http://news.google.co.uk/news?hl=en&um= ... oogle+harm

Nothing reported on the TV networks yet (Sky/BBC) - although they probably are aware of it... I'd expect something soon if they think it's newsworthy enough (who knows, the BBC might even put a Have Your Say comment box on their story!)

I wonder what the daily mail will make of it all in 2 weeks' time when all their readers find out about it and complain.

Fucking hell, is this really TV news worth?

"Voting starts in Iraq today, but first, Google..."

I wouldn't have put it in TV/Radio stakes but it certainly warrants an online mention here and there. Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Googleplex right now
