Title: "Visiting This Website May Harm Your Computer"
Post by: landbeforetimelover on January 31, 2009, 11:17:08 AM

Just search anything via google and you'll see what I mean.  It says this about virtually EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE!  When you click on the link, it makes you copy and paste it into a new tab in order to go there?  WTH is google thinking?  According to them, my website (www.landbeforetime.co.nr) and GOF are harmful. :rolleyes:

According to google's search results, www.google.com is also "harmful". :rolleyes:

There's gotta be something wrong here. :p

I didn't notice this topic. I made another one about the same issue. ^^;

But yeah I'm having the same problem. It's Stopbadware.org and Google's partnership that seems to be causing the problem.

Edit: The issue is gone. You should be able to use Google now without those "This site may harm your computer" message. I'm able to anyway.

I had trouble with that too. But you're right DH, it's gone now.

Well for that I'm very grateful.  I couldn't stand searching on google and having to manually go to every single website because it was "harmful". :rolleyes: Glad that's all cleared up.  It's a good idea in theory, but I'd much rather view a few websites that are "harmful" then get websites that aren't "harmful" blocked.
