Lol, seems google have messed up, at 3:10pm in England I was searching on google and suddenly every site had "This site may harm your computer", looks like they've messed up some code, will be fixed pretty soon though - you need to be quick :P

Even searching google comes up with the same message, haha.

Cool, I did some searching at about that time (before I read your post though) and I didn't notice anything. Screeshot? By the way, are you sure it's not your anti-virus program, like McAfee site advisor or something?

No definitely not any virus program, It was results from google, not something a virus program brought up. They fixed it within 2-5 minutes so it was a fairly short window anyway.

Forgot to take screenshot >.<

Apparently, it was actually more like 55 minutes. You might have caught it at the tail end.
