"This site may harm your computer" January 31, 2009 8:30AM CST

All Google searches from around 8:30 to 9:30AM Central Time USA - had the link:
"This site may harm your computer"
I was at first wondering if all sites caught malware.
But thinking more likely - Google security - was adjusted too tightly.

Anyone else see this?
I went to a second computer - to verify that the same issue existed.
It did - so was not malware on a particular computer.

At aprox. 9:40 AM CST - the "This site may harm your computer" link had been removed.

Thanks,

It was world wide.

Google did it to one of my sites!
There was nothing of interest on the site. I had only uploaded some templates from Front Page and left it 'till I could get back to it. The site got blackballed by Google. Not a joke! I changed name servers and hosting, put it on a empty host and they later took me of the blacklist. Strange.

They were going to do that anyway, the error at Google led to every single search result having the "dangerous" warning.
