Google Flags Whole Internet As Malware

I’m planning a trip to Italy. While I am there, I may fly back for the Mets home opener - seriously – so I tried to search for GMT to get the flight times straight.

Google warned me about every result. I was very annoyed by two things. One, I use a Mac so most of these warnings don’t apply (I KNOW some do), and 2) the only way to continue to the site is to copy and past the URL (or type it) and go.

Then I noticed that even the Wikipedia entry was flagged. What?

Then I decided to search to see if my websites were flagged – Yep! Even my twitter page, hmmm? So, I searched for Twitter – Yep.

What about YouTube, a Google property. Searched for youtube and sure enough the first result was www.youtube.com which was flagged.

So, I sent a tweet to ask for help. Seems that about 300 people sent tweets just minutes before.

Good news – the problem seems to be fixed.
