    About 10 mins ago I Googled something, and all of the links have the text “This site may harm your computer” beneath them. Clicking on any of the links takes me to a Google warning/advisory page.

    Searching for anything e.g. ‘BBC’ brings this up and I can’t continue through to any web pages (getting just the Google warning page) Anyone know why?

    Not seen Google this screwed up for a long time. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I wonder if it is just a bug or maybe a disgruntled employee. Anyway when you go to one of these “visiting this web site may harm your computer!” pages the url is something like “http://www.google.co.uk/interstitial?url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/” just delete the first part of the url “http://www.google.co.uk/interstitial?url=” and it will take you to the page you wanted.

    Formatted my PC, reinstalled widnows XP, Vista and also Ubuntu seems to have done the trick.
