"This site may harm your computer" bug in Google search

General Topics

Has anyone noticed that there’s a bug in Google search?

I typed in Wikipedia and it’s labels it with “This site may harm your computer”.

I hope Google fixes it.

Definitely, everything I get back is labeled as malicious by google, even the google site.

I don’t have any such problem using Google Search ???

Neither do I:

problem seems to have been fixed for me.

I had this same problem. Check your time/date on the lower right of your screen.

Mine showed a date in June 2009, which then made the security certificates “expired”.

Now I’m wondering how the date was changed.

Please post back and let me know if this fixes the problem.

I use Scroogle scraper, I had the same problem, it’s fixed now. I never checked the date & time.

A few hours ago I had the same problem for a safe website. Now the warning message does not appear anymore. Also I never checked the date or something else like that.

GOOGLE GOES MAD: TAGS REST OF INTERNET ‘HARMFUL’ Headline from Drudge Report

Yep, an exercise in how to win friends and influence people NOT ;D

Just goes to show just how big google is getting.

I can relate to this quote from the Telegraph article: “The Google outage frightened me like a schoolgirl, until I remembered an old technology called ‘Yahoo’.” Except for the “frightened me like a schoolgirl” part. My first thought was “Oh, Google’s having a problem. I’ll use one of the other kazillion search engines.” It doesn’t necessarily have “serious implications for internet commerce”. Google isn’t the oldest or only search engine available.

2 to go

It was strange. If I searched from the toolbar, I got the message. But from the website it worked.
