images/news/google.jpgSaturday 31st of january, Google somehow thought the entire internet was unsafe.
All results had the warning

This site can harm your computer
When any link is clicked, it is followed by another warning page (or sometimes even an Server-500 error, not allowed)
I know for sure the Dutch google had this problem, I think the US had the same.

The security measure Google has gives their users the possibility to select safe search results. With the error now occuring, with all sites marked as unsafe, the user can not get a clear answer on safety anymore.

When this problem is solved is still unclear. The Google newspages do not say anything about the error.


Let's keep Google in our minds as it's being rushed to the hospital to be examined

Update
Google Blog regarding the issue

Soooo, while learning this I possibly harmed my computer? And now posting this message, is it suicide? Man, I think I'm gonna unplug everything, heat my room with a campfire, communicate with pen and paper letters(I don't trust morse code), walk and use my bike to work. :withstupid:
