Google saw its entire search offering crippled on Saturday afternoon leaving millions of internet users unsure whether their search results let them to possible dangerous sites that could harm their computer.

Google users clicking on a link regardless of the destination from any Google search result were told that visiting the site could harm your computer.

Instead of the site in question, users were re-directed to a Google page:

"Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!"

I got it too, I was at a customer's house 10 miles away, anything I tried to access came up with a warning message saying it was an unsafe site. Thought it was their computer.

A Google update caused the problem: Every site with a "/" was labled hazzardous.
And that meant EVERY site in the world because all the sites contain a "slash".

So apparantly Google put this down to a "human error" and say the issue was rectified within 40 minutes.

I never saw a problem. Mind you, I probably don't use Google often enough to have noticed!
