It seems to be flagging all sites as dangerous, not just alla.
The "this site may harm your computer" 'Badware' detection has been in force for a while now, however as of around 3pm GMT all sites seem to be flagged. (Including Google and stopbadware.org who are the idea behind it)
I'm hoping its some bug with Googles or Stopbadware. Could be that the internet just got screwed tho... lol
The google info page and stopbadware are both inaccessible, I'm sure they are sinking under a torrent of people trying to find out whats going on.

Except if it were baby photos, it would be like looking at before and afters of Michael Jackson. Only instead of turning into a white guy, he changes into a chick!

A lot of sites were being flagged as dangerous.

For 5 minutes there, every site I searched was flagged by Google. I kept retrying and getting the same thing so I restarted and ran a system scan. Nothing found. By the time the scan was done, all was back to normal so just a glitch or something.
Google was hacked! Nah, probably just an error.
Maybe they read some of the older Asylum posts!

'Human error' hits Google search
Users were warned that all search results were dangerous
Google's search service has been hit by technical problems, with users unable to access search results.
For a period on Saturday, all search results were flagged as potentially harmful, with users warned that the site "may harm your computer".
Users who clicked on their preferred search result were advised to pick another one.
Google attributed the fault to human error and said most users were affected for about 40 minutes.
"What happened? Very simply, human error," wrote Marissa Mayer, vice president, search products and user experience, on the Official Google Blog.
The internet search engine works with stopbadware.org to ascertain which sites install malicious software on people's computers and merit a warning.
Stopbadware.org investigates consumer complaints to decide which sites are dangerous.
The list of malevolent sites is regularly updated and handed to Google.
When Google updated the list on Saturday, it mistakenly flagged all sites as potentially dangerous.
"We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again," Ms Mayer wrote.
