    Google search is down

    I didn't realize how much I use Google search until now.

    You can still use it, but clicking on any of the links brings up the "Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!" page.

    So don't worry, your computer isn't broke, Google is broke

              You sure it's not your local PC? There's a number of Vundo malware varients such as "Antivirus 2009" and "Antivirus 360" that hijack your google page session. It'll bring up results when you search, but it sends you to unrelated sites when you click on them.

                Sounds like it to me, too. I had that on my PC - and it was a bitch to remove.

                  Yeah, I am familiar with browser hijacks. This was an actual issue with Google this morning.
