    Default This site may harm your computer.

    Haha Google is totally smurfed atm. I don't know what has happened to it, either an error on their end or a virus but yeah. Looking around the internet it seems it's only been happening for about 45 minutes but still. If you don't use google or haven't yet basically every single result, even searching for "google" comes up with the random malware protection on it and you can't look at anything at all.

    I don't know about you but it is definitely screwing up my internet browsing 'cause that little google bar you get in firefox is probably my most used browser feature and now none of it works. So harsh

    I don't think there is a real point for this thread other than for everyone to bitch about google failure. Maybe you can talk about some superior search engine you use, or talk about how you have been inconvenienced by this turn of events. I mean if you want or something you can turn this thread into a Star Trek discussion I don't really care. Make yourselves happy EoFF

    Easy to bypass in firefox, just highlight the URL and drag it to the tab or next to it to open in a new tab, even if it's not a hyperlink


    EDIT: aww, it's fixed now
    Problems playing downloaded videos? Try CCCP

    It was pretty major fail on Google's part tbh. And yeah I don't even realize other search engines exist most of the time

    My dad should come with a This person may harm your computer label. He keeps clicking those "You've just won, click here to claim your prize" things. Well, until I told him to stop it. Then he started clicking those "you have a new message click here to read it" banners instead.

    My grandpa does that and then blames me when something is wrong with his computer. Then I do the nice thing and clear out the 400 trojans he's collected every time I visit, and he still thinks I'm messing up his computer :</>|

    There are search engines other than Google?

    Kidding. But I would like people to give a list of other search engines that they use. I'm sure some of you have some that I've never even heard of that I and others might want to check out.

    Can we turn it into a discussion on why Leeza ends every sentence with a "" smile?

    I end some sentences with a . It's not always a . If I were you though, I'd only worry I didn't end my sentences with one of those smilies.

    I really only ever use google!

    I'm kinda curious what happened now, but I'm sure it will appear on slashdot with a "OMG GOOGLE IS EVIL" headline
