Google incorrectly categorises every site on the web as malicious!

**perris** · January 31st, 2009

I thought I had a virus or a hosts highjack but it was on all my computers this morning;

google hacked

I should have taken a screeny myself but I got that on every google search for about 10 minutes

I know. It would be better to add your links under each result so you could get all that traffic. And then face a big lawsuit afterwards.

Who would have thought, Google has humans working too!

**Evil Marge** · January 31st, 2009

Google hacked? Just goes to show how rumours start

**Johnny** · January 31st, 2009

Moved thread to appropriate section. Re-named thread to something less sensational to not cause fear

I totally missed it all this morning.

In the end it was "much to do about nothing" though.

Whoaaaa...... I just joined OSNN to post about Windows Live Onecare and stumbled onto this thread about Google. Onecare had been doing the same thing to me and the only way I was able to join here or even access this forum was to uninstall Onecare. I'll start a thread dedicated to this Onecare thing but it's interesting to see that, apparently, Google human error did somewhat the same thing as Onecare.

Oh, BTW, since I kicked Onecare to the curb everything about my internet experience has straightened out..... uh oh... I spoke too soon, I see I can't post this without quoting the previous post. Gotta be Onecare again....
