Has Google become incredibly paranoid?

Of course it's gonna happen on both Safari and Firefox. It's a Google issue, not a browser issue.

*facepalm*



They probably got drunk before the latest round of coding and flicked the wrong switch. It'll be fixed in no time.
 
Was just about to start a thread on this.

I'm glad you took the time to write this. It was happening on every search I did and it was driving me nuts.

(Of course, the first thing I did was search Google to see if it was happening to anyone else. Talk about an infinite loop of warnings. I finally went to Yahoo.com and did my first search ever on the site.)
 
Yeah, this has been happening for almost an hour.

Google's been jacked? Honestly I have never seen this type of problem with Google before.

hmmm
 
What is this????? Has Google gone crazy? Every site is now blocked. Even my own site that I manage! And when I try to access the webmaster tools, I get a '502 service error'.

If they don't fix this quickly, people are going to use another search engine. I know I need to now.....
 
*facepalm*

Why ? Yaris was saying it was working fine on FireFox and just Safari was the problem, 2 of us confirmed it was on both browsers being talked about.

I'm glad you wrote this up, I was afraid it was some sort of security problem on my end.

What will I do without google!

Hello Forum,

Starting about ten minutes ago when I use safari or Firefox and type in a search in their spotlight, every result on Google reads, "This site may harm your computer." I mean every result like MacRumors, Yahoo, Google, New York Times, Best Buy, Schools, etc.

However, when I search on yahoo it is fine?

Is this a Google issue or my imac?

Thanks.

Nope, not just you, google is officially catastrophically busted. Check out news stories via google search, its happened world-wide.

Who left the intern working at Google HQ over the weekend....
 
All is good again. Google is fixed. We may now go back to Googling.

EDIT: Never mind. It was and then it went back again.
 
Had the same problem as well, which was very LOLworthy. Particularly to do the below demotivational:

Google appears to be implementing an anti-malware feature that would scan URL's of sites that you search for within their search engine. If a site is found to contain malware, a link would be presented under the search results for that site indicating so. Apparently, they are testing the new feature today and while I was searching I found that everything I searched for said it had malware, which is obviously not the case. However, it is interesting to note that Google is implementing this feature, a feature that Yahoo has had for sometime now.

rdowns pointed you to a thread that had been created earlier about this issue, did you really need to carry on bumping your own? 😛
