How embarrassing! Someone will be looking for a new job today, I think... |

 tmccann11Who, Me?Premium join:2001-06-10 Bayonne, NJ | reply to katarina I was just about to post the same thing. I was searching for car parts, and thought it was crazy. I searched for DSLR and got the same thing. |

 | reply to katarina I am also getting this.
I found this forum by doing a google search on the term
This site may harm...
and set the time in advanced search to 24 hours
I'm also having to past urls directly
It's also occurring on my mac.
I wonder just how damaging this might be. |

Even Google's own search is reporting itself as malicious! |

|
 | reply to katarina Yes, all localised Googles seem to be affected.
I would have hoped they could fix it faster than this. Unfortunately this incident is likely to further erode trust in the malware warning. Already people invariably whinged about it and ignored it, even though it was generally accurate. |

Web and image searches are producing the warning for me, but news searches are not. -- We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us. |

 | reply to katarina They have finally achieved a 100% detection rate of malicious sites! |
