Is something wrong with Google?

[proud2BlibKansan]

Everything I Google comes up with links that have a line underneath that say

WARNING. VISITING THIS SITE MAY HARM YOUR COMPUTER

Then when I click on the link I get another page that tells me the same thing and I should visit Google Diagnostics. But that link goes to an error page.

:wtf:

[tanyev]

1. I was just wondering that myself.

It says you can continue to the site you want at your own risk, but there's no way to get there from the page you're looking at.

[timtom]

48. In the text, there is a url to cut and paste to continue.

I did it, but am now thinking, that may have been a bad idea, even though it seemed to take me to the desired site.

[NashVegas]

2. Thirdsies

[mike_c]

3. yup, me too....

very strange

[madaboutharry]

4. I just experienced this myself. trying to get to Showtime.com

I swear some people just have too much time on their hands.

[remember2000forever]

5. Yup! Very Strange

[elizfeelinggreat]

6. Same here and it says wikipedia may harm my computer.

Definitely something wrong!

[The Straight Story]

7. I dunno, try googling google

:)

Just did some general searches and had no issues.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Yikes! am seeing the same thing!

Typed in a very benign keyword search just to check, and all the links have that warning!

There must be something going on with Google. Maybe they got hacked.

Just used the same benign search in yahoo search.
No warning on any of the link hits there.


Thanks for the heads up.:hi:
Am going to use Yahoo search until Google gets that strangeness fixed

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. Yes I was just going to try Yahoo

glad it's working.

[supernova]

40. I got it too

Typed in 'bamboo flooring"

"This site may harm your computer."


This si a major hack. How long has it been like this? I went to bed last night and it was fine.

[The Straight Story]

9. nevermind (nt)

[OneGrassRoot]

14. I inserted "Democratic Underground" in Google and got message. n/t

[mike_c]

16. EVERY term, including "this site may harm your computer"....

Google is effectively broken at present!

[originalpckelly]

18. Hackers, just have to fuck with shit.

:eyes:

[OneGrassRoot]

22. Oy, is it Firefox or IE or both? I used firefox. n/t

[originalpckelly]

23. I'm using firefox and got it.

:-(

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. I am using Camino

[Earth Bound Misfit]

50. I'm using IE, same thing n/t

[OneGrassRoot]

10. Just came to ask the same thing. n/t

[originalpckelly]

11. Yep, me too!

Dorks, all of them.

[Frustratedlady]

12. Worked fine for me.

[originalpckelly]

15. Go try it, all the links say this site may harm your computer...

either they're having a problem, or someone has hacked Google! :wow:

That'd be interesting.

[Blue Diadem]

13. It wasn't that way earlier for me, but it is now.

WTF is right.

[Warren Stupidity]

17. I'd say google is under attack and a very successful attack it is.

Interesting.

[originalpckelly]

21. Yes, someone has figured out a security vulnerability...

either that or something just went wrong inside Google.

They're probably loosing tons of money while this is happening.

[NashVegas]

65. Could Be a Malware Outlet Looking to Defeat Whatever Triggers The Warning

[TroglodyteScholar]

19. Whoa, that's not cool

Tell me it isn't going to take extra clicks to get thru to sites from Google from now on! What an asspain!

[geek_sabre]

20. oh thank goodness

I thought it was just me.

[The Straight Story]

25. It *IS* just you, this thread is just part of your delusion, it does not really exist

:)

[proud2BlibKansan]

41. You are so bad

:rofl:

[enlightenment]

24. Yep - me too.

I have SiteAdvisor and it still shows the green checkmark (safe), red 'X' (not safe), and question mark (not sure) indicators, though.

Weird.

[elleng]

26. Damn!

Sorry you mentioned it!

[PeaceNikki]

28. The Google news search is OK, it's the web search

weird..

[elleng]

33. Well, that's something good!

Thanks!

[Deja Q]

29. Yup. Same here. I wonder if this is a new 'proof of concept' or virus coming into the wild

(I'd posted the same in the lounge and was told to come here :) )

Google is hacked; hopefully not to the point something will be distributed...

Kaspersky didn't see anything, but if there's a new virus "in the wild"...

[OneGrassRoot]

32. What's a "kaspersky" - sorry, I can't google it. ;) n/t

[Deja Q]

42. antivirus program. But if google was hacked and sending out 'in the wild' malware,

no antivirus program will spot it.

Kaspersky and Trend are the two best antivirus programs out there; they have multiple automatic daily updates. You get what you pay for... (unless it starts with the letter "M"... :D )

[conscious evolution]

78. A very good anti virus/security program

I highly recommend it.

[w8liftinglady]

31. Oh good-I was afraid my boys were looking at porn sites again

it is doing the same thing for me

[ima_sinnic]

34. yes, I am getting that, no matter what search term I enter

hopefully this can be fixed soon.

luckily the URL can be seen at the bottom of each entry and can be manually entered in the "address box" (or whatever that space is called where the URL appears).

[thecrow]

35. here's what I got when I clicked on the link that says "this site may harm you"

Google
Error


Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.

[Happyhippychick]

36. Just posted this!

[PoiBoy]

37. Using Opera... I get the same message, but...

no problems when I use Scroogle...

http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm

[Happyhippychick]

43. I tried scroogle but when I clicked on the actual link, got the "harmful" message.

[Klukie]

38. no problem here

I take that back.... the search worked fine but when I clicked on the link I got the message.

[lunatica]

39. Me too. n/t

[MineralMan]

44. I just googled White House, and

even whitehouse.gov gets that notice. It's some sort of Google error. It'll probably be fixed shortly.

57. I'll bet Boner or one of his buddies have their hand in this

DAMN REPUBLICANS--YOU LOST...GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Liberalynn]

67. Good one.

:rofl:

Now can someone please remind our fellow Dems they won. ;)

[meti57b]

58. So, enjoy a day off from hearing, "google is your friend"

[Bonobo]

59. I just searched in Japanese on google.co.jp -same thing. Wow. Scary shit.

This will be costing millions of dollars in commerce and work slowdown.

[MineralMan]

60. It appears to be OK, now...

The message has disappeared in my latest searches.

[Warren Stupidity]

63. not mine - all bad all the time

[kenziemom06]

62. Seems to be fixed...

I just typed in DU and it was okay...

[merh]

66. close google, clear your cookies and then go back to google

it should work for you now (it does for me).

[tularetom]

69. Buy a Mac - No prob using Safari

[proud2BlibKansan]

70. I have a Mac

and am using Camino. But I also get this same message with Safari.

[dem629]

75. A Mac evangelist to the rescue!

:puke:

[Jamastiene]

77. .

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

76. Pretty bad timing to say that... For one thing it wasn't a browser-targeted issue. More amusingly,

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mac+trojan&btnG=Google+Search

Buy nothing. Except a good antivirus/firewall package. Something that's been sold for Macs for some time, and have existed for Linux as well.

[peacetalksforall]

71. I'm not getting it.

[PeaceNikki]

73. Cuz it's fixed now.
