yep, google's messed up at the moment.  I hope they get it sorted soon as it's a pain trying to get to your search results now!

What would I do without this forum??

I came here in frustration for something different to do, worrying about my Mac laptop after I get the same message on every single search I do!  Will have to try a different search engine for a while...

Seems to have been international.

Quote from: Le Monde
Pendant près d'une demie-heure le moteur de recherche Internet Google a été touché par un bug, samedi 31 janvier après-midi, affichant le message "ce site risque d'endommager votre ordinateur" à chacune des recherches. De quoi créér quelques frayeurs aux internautes.

I'd hate to be that staffer who made the mistake when uploading the list of bad sites this morning...
