Couperman Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 According to google every site I search for including this one 'may harm my computer'. The only way I can navigate to any page is to cut and paste the address into the bar at the top, or not use google. This is extremely annoying I admire their efforts in trying to protect people, but simply tagging every site in the world with a 'may harm your computer' banner isn't going to cut it for me. Has anybody else encountered this? Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Me too Kev. I thought it was AVG playing up at first. It's really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think Google was updating its servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I noticed it too, and thought it was really annoying! Glad they're got rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 It is still doing it for me When I clicked the link to find more information, it seemed to suggest that it was putting it on all the sites and leaving it for the site administrators to contact them to get it removed edited to say that I have just had another go and it is off now! Perhaps I had not refreshed that page for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Oh I thought it was just me. I was using OH's work laptop and was worried I'd done something wrong so was keeping quiet about it. Thanks for posting this feeling reassured now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilda-and-evadne Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 'Human error' hits Google search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilda-and-evadne Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The glitch lasted 40 minutes and is estimated to have cost Google nearly £2m in advertising revenue. Google blacklists entire internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 This happened to me too - like bigmommasally I thought it was me and logged off quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
