    Somebody using Zonealarm or something?

    [EDIT] Actually its doing same here, and this is on an IP outside of Ireland
    It links to http://www.google.ie/support/bin/answer.py?answer=45449&topic=360&hl=en&sa=X&oi=malwarewarninglink&resnum=1&ct=help which is a 502 server error

    I'd say there testing something and its gone pear shaped

    hahaha... what happens when anyone clicks on that link ?

    its timing out for me...


    they probably are gonna crash that web server if they are telling *everyone* who is using google that their sites may harm their PC.
    everyone is clicking on it :)

    Also getting the problem with google.nl.

    I'm guessing that somebody has used a bot to report the entire Internet as suspect.

    Actually...
    Is that "Add a result - See all my SearchWiki notes - See all notes for this SearchWiki - Learn more"
    under the search results new ?

    i think i would have noticed something that says add a result.



    ...

    and search within results ?
    are they doin a big bang release - or have i just been asleep searching google recently :)

    Doesn't quite time out, I eventually got this error...
    Server Error
    The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.

    Please try again in 30 seconds.

    The server is probably being hammered with every single query being redirected to it :D

    this could indeed cost google billions of dollars, since changing to yahoo or another search engine is simple but will they go back.

    I wouldn't like to be the employee that threw that switch :eek::eek::eek:

    Could it be the ISP? I've ran into that issue before using VPNs. I've tried a few other services and RTE live stream won't work either. Just throwing it out there.

    I'm on NTL/UPC by the by.

    Yahoo was working for me, but I just tried to use its search engine a minute ago and I got a Google page saying

    "Oops! This link appears broken.
    Page not found - connection failure."

    WTF?
