Yes, very irritating, and until you blogged on it, very worrying. I thought it was a strange virus munching its way through Google. It was telling me, too, that every website could damage my computer - including snowbooks.com and the BBC's site. It's gone now, though.

With you on that one. I've been getting lots of error messages today - including (suspiciously) when accessing Wikipedia, who Google have started competing with.

Why oh why do very successful companies commit hari kiri once they've become top dog.

Oh yeah, Jared Diamond wrote all about this in 'Collapse'. The universe seems to be set up that way...

Thanks for highlighting that Rob, I thought I was going a little mad suddlenly seeing every site on a simple google search being marked harful -and yet, each one also having the green tick saying it's child-safe.

There is a nasty virus doing the rounds, where legitimate sites have been seeded with popups, and if you click on any of them they download the virus which causes multiple screens to open up on your drive until it's full and your computer grinds to a stop.

apologies, I mean Thanks Emma.

Apparently an engineer managed to blacklist the whole internet instead of a single malicious site. I guess the jobless figures might be increasing by one on Monday morning. You can read the whole story here.
