This site may harm your computer on every search result
There was a bit of a mishap at the weekend with Google results.
Due to a human error Google flagged all search results with the message "This site may harm your computer"
Google labelling suspicious websites with this message is normally really helpful and can stop you accidentally visiting a site that can install malware on your computer.
There was some confusion about where the problem originated and Google have since updated their statement. The StopBadware.org site who Google work with to establish if a website poses a risk have issued a statement along with Google to clarify.
The StopBadWare site fell over under the strain of all the additional traffic from confused Google users.
