Default Is google fubar for anyone else?

Just wondering if this is something on my end. No matter what I search for every result that returns is listed with "This site may harm your computer." I don't think this is a client-side issue but I'm not sure.

google is raping the internet here too

every search turns up a malware warning.

even if you search for something which seems harmless like teletubbies, or Holy Spirit or my dear old grandmother.

Well that's good to know I guess. They're usually quite on top of these things and post notices if it's not fixed instantly. I dunno what's going on.

Yes, mine is buggered. I was about to post this issue but I see, many if not all have mom and dad(google) tagging every site. Oh well, I use live search for now.

Searching for Teletubbies just worked fine over here. No malware alerts.

I will file them a complaint. I think they discriminate against me.

Probably some sort of hack 'payback' for them finally 'fixing' the Bush bomb.

Bush in office 4 years to fix, Obama in office 4 days to fix.
