    I'm getting a very strange search result from Google. for any given search I do, all of the results have the following text underneath the link:
    "This site may harm your computer"

    If I try to navigate to a given search result, Google returns a warning page stating the web site I am trying to navigate to may harm my computer, and then recommends that I go to StopBadware.org. The only way to navigate to a result is to copy and paste the link in my browser (Firefox).

    This happens for any search term. I did a search for "Google" to illustrate what happens:

    Has anyone else seen this? I tried to search, but was met with obvious difficulty. I had to use Yahoo to find anything semi-useful, but nothing very helpful. I found a bunch of results on Yahoo Answers that suggest Google may be having a technical problem relating to some recent update, but given the source, I'd like to know if anyone else has any ideas.

    Nevermind. Looks like the problem is fixed, as all my search results are normal.
