Warning, this website may harm your computer
Folks,
Whats up with the Google, warning which doesn't allow you access to any sites? It persisted this AM but is better now. Is it innocuous or should I worry?
Thanks, Dave

"..The problem, which appears to have been corrected by the time of publication, was related to Google's "Stop Badware" program, which is designed to keep Internet users from visiting sites that Google's bots have found try to install malicious software when users browse the sites...
12:38 p.m. ET: Google has posted an update to its official Google blog that attributes this fairly major "oops" to human error: "We periodically receive updates to that list and received one such update to release on the site this morning. Unfortunately (and here's the human error), the URL of '/' was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and '/' expands to all URLs. Fortunately, our on-call site reliability team found the problem quickly and reverted the file. Since we push these updates in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing between 6:27 a.m. and 6:40 a.m. and began disappearing between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m., so the duration of the problem for any particular user was approximately 40 minutes."
