What's going on? I'm getting a "This site may harm your computer" message on almost every hit.

Never mind.
Rebooted, messages gone.
Now I'm really worried.

It wasn't the reboot - I just got the same thing 15 minutes ago (I was searching for something which brought upo a lot of government sites). Just gone back and refreshed the page and all the warnings have gone.

I was getting the same but it seems ok now. I didn't reboot but I did restart my browser.
I'm slightly less worried now that I've seen your post.

Same here. Google was telling me that every page would harm my computer. It didn't last for very long, I guess someone noticed it quickly. ;-)
I think google was trying out a new version of the "bad web site" identifier code. They have had this message and some code that drove it for a while. I suspect that they were trying to roll out a new version that checked the type of OS you were running against the threat to give more accurate results. Unfortunately, it seemed to always think you were running Vista.
Google's warning should have read, "The sight of this may harm your composure".

I was using OS X. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Either that or google got hit :)
Google's coders are becoming increasingly sloppy. It appears Google has no Quality Control mechanism: Once something is coded, it is deployed; they obviously have no checklist of previous problems against which they run new code.
I guess I fixed it for everybody. I ran spybot search and destroy, and the problem was gone! Mike :-)

What would you say if the message was "Your computer may harm this site"?
Must of made it to AP because I seen it on Foxnews.
