Most regular Google users will recognise their malware warnings: “This Site May Harm Your Computer”.
It seems they’ve got a *touch* over-zealous this weekend. Today every site on Google UK was carrying the warning. Including, um, all Google sites…
StopBadware.org, the non-profit organisation that provides Google with the blacklist, is also offline.
Tech Corner and TechCrunch have more detail. Thanks to Stephen from Bony Toad for the screenshot.
I thought it was a bug with my computer! I kept trying different searches and had the same warning appearing with any result!

I tried a bunch of queries when this was going on and the only thing that didn’t provide a warning was a search for “god”.
