I was doing searches on Google and everything was OK. Then I did a search for "Bill of Rights" and I got all those nasty malware warnings. It really freaked me out until I realized Google was doing that with any search :)

Seems to be affecting everyone: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%22may+harm+your+computer...

Went from 37 results to over 300 in the space of a minute.

I think it's the safety filter feature from Chrome that they're implementing site-wide, gone wrong.

Deleted mine too, here's a screenshot in case they fix it http://tinyurl.com/b4k25q Its really LOL that they mark google.com as "may harm your computer"

I know. Even when I search for google properties, everything comes up with that same error. Interesting.

it's also google.com

If you enter google.com/ncr anywhere around the world you get to the google.com Version, which often sports more features. By adding the ncr (no country redirect) you don't get forwarded to country specific sites.

Wow. Since clicking on any search result brings up the warning page, Google is unusable. Everywhere. I never thought I'd see this. I wonder how much this is costing the global economy per second...

Would be interesting to see stats in the aftermath on site traffic drops or if Yahoo traffic increases.
