First it was that Android root shell fiasco. Now this. I wonder if this whole "holier than thou" attitude towards Google will finally start to subside.

Google doesn't quite think that everything may harm your computer. Neither wikipedia nor facebook will.

Interestingly:

Google thinks Google may harm your computer.

My mum just called me to ask me if her computer was infected.

I wonder how many people around the world are now panicking?

and the false warning is back...

edit: If I refresh I don't see the false warning every fifth time or so. This happens on the .com and .ch page. It seems they are pushing out an update that hasn't reached all servers yet.

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...

I wonder how much it's costing Google per second...

I wonder how much it's costing me per second. I was right in the middle of some research! Now I'm going to spend a hour surfing HN looking for fresh new Google jokes!

On the other hand, nothing brings people from around the world together like a bug in Google.
