Apparently EVERY site can harm my computer.

The attached image shows a search for "Google". Searching for ANYTHING else gives me the same thing...

Happening to anyone else?

happening to me and a few other people on the internet im talking to. its annoying because thereis no way to bypass the page except for trying to delete all the google stuff in the URL.

Let's wait for news from Google themselves...

@smbtol You're not THAT desperate are you?

No one's *that* desperate. Here's another thread asking about this:

Looks like a server crash. If you visit the "Safe Browsing Diagnostic Page" link, you'll see.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Why is Google search labeling every single search result with "This site may harm your computer"? I was worried that something bad had happened to my machine. Good to see that a lot of others are having the same problem as well. I'll just wait for Google to do something about this and use yahoo in the meanwhile.

Thanks.

All of a sudden around 6:45 AM PT Google started displaying obviously false " This site may harm your computer " warning for every page, including Google.com itself. And yes I'm using fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.04 Daily (jan 31) so it can't be virus etc...

Anyone else noticed this ??

Screenshots are attached.

Yep, it's happening with me on windows too, so most likely a server error

Hmmm I am getting the same thing at a public library on a windows machine. I suppose maybe it is a google problem.

Actually, it's more likely that the 'Safe Browsing' server has crashed:

It appears that the server is back up... the problem is gone.
