#googlemayharm

It seems we're witnessing the day Google messed up?!

As of less than an hour ago, Google seems to have introduced some kind of extra browsing protection and is now flagging EVERYTHING as potentially harmful for your computer - even itself. The Twittersphere went crazy (just check the hashtag in the title or use Twitter Search). TechCrunch is covering it too - let's see what happens.

In the meantime, can you imagine a world without Google?

Update: By the time I checked again, everything had already gone back to normal, and the whole malware issue seems to have completely disappeared. Now let's find out why this happened.

Update 2: Google came out with an apology, along with a detailed explanation of what had happened, about an hour and a half after everything was back to normal (at 9AM on a Saturday morning, to be more precise). In other words, a textbook example of how a situation as such can be handled.
