Is it just my hardrive or does every page I open in google warn me "This site may harm your computer"
even Google says it for its own website [attachment=1]

EDIT: This bug is now fixed, Google had a temporary problem with their website.

They accidentally added ?/? to their list of malware sites. / was treated as a wildcard, essentially matching every page on the Internet.\

How strange, that's happened to me today. I was looking for something from Bulbapedia, about a Pokemon, and all over the Google search, I had "This site may harm your computer". I thought either my Wireless Router/Broadband, laptop was screwy.

Thank goodness it was just a fault, I was worrying I had some kind of virus myself for a moment.

Yeah, I thought a worm/trojan horse virus, had gone in, even with my anti-virus, Windows Defender, and firewall up. So, it was just them with a mild fault? Strange, they've had more than one fault, where I was on my parents PC, when my laptop had no Internet since my Wireless was pretty muched fucked, so I put AVG, on there for the time being since I had problems with Avast! on there, so and all over Google, I had: "This site may harm your computer" through every single search.

To err is human.  To really fuck up requires a computer.

Google fucked up and I missed it? Awww! If I would have known that it was happening I would have got a screenshot so we all could make fun of them even more than we are now! XD
