Tribble Ad Agency: EPIC FAIL : This site may harm your computer.

    I'm glad I found this (and other) articles at last. Just been running anti-virus scans, rebooting routers and generally pulling my hair out. I even fired up Safari to see if the effect was browser dependent.

    Phew.. we'd be lost without Google!

    I just noticed this. At first I thought is was just my computer. I guess they were doing an update and screwed something up.

    The problem has been fixed. Seems to have only affected logged in users. Hopefully, Google will be a bit quicker next time (started at 14:39 to about 15:10-15:20).

    Are you people fucking serious?

    "The problem has been fixed. Seems to have only affected logged in users. Hopefully, Google will be a bit quicker next time (started at 14:39 to about 15:10-15:20)."

    They took 10 minutes. It was a bug. Who gives a shit? Give them a break you loser.

    That was a strange hour! It was oddly amusing, but it sure points a finger at how much we rely on Google on a daily basis. There's a great screenshot at this article where Google flags its own site as harmful:

    This is crazy, just the other day I was visiting a well know Affiliate Network and it too was “curtained” with the “This site may harm your computer” alert. I can only wonder how much negative financial impact this has has on those site which are undeserving of this clumsiness. You would think Google would invest some bandwidth on this issue and solve it once and for all.
