Google FAIL

By Dave • February 1, 2009

Just doing a search in Google and it appears that there is something afoot. Apparently anything and everything may harm your computer! This would include the following:

Google:

Microsoft:

Apple:

McAfee:

You Get the idea…

I think that one of the tech’s have spilt the coffee…

What it does mean is that you will not be able to access any site from a Google search, thanks to the added “security”. They better get someone onto that.

All this from the company that said “Do no Evil” Pffffft!

Well it is true, in a way… any website has the “potential” to harm your computer. The only way to avoid potential harm to your computer is to disconnect it completely from any outside source… which kinda defeats the purpose of the Internet.

This is now fixed. I found the following explanation by following a link from the SANS RSS feed (hint hint): http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-site-may-harm-your-computer-on.html

Alas, it CAN happen to the best of us!
