Google may harm your computer

Even the best of us make mistakes has Google admits for a period on Saturday (31 Jan 09), Google's search service was hit by technical problems, with users unable to access search results. all search results were flagged as potentially harmful, with users warned that the site "may harm your computer".

"What happened? Very simply, human error," wrote Marissa Mayer, vice president, search products and user experience, on the Official Google Blog.

The internet search engine works with stopbadware.org to ascertain which sites install malicious software on people's computers and merit a warning.

When Google updated the list on Saturday, it mistakenly flagged all sites as potentially dangerous.

"We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again," Ms Mayer wrote.


Tut Tut we forgive you but do we get compensation for lost traffic and customers? We wont wait for a reply, only kidding guy's you do a great job
