Google Message - This Site May Harm Your Computer

After doing a search on Google, I got the following message on every search hit - This Site May Harm Your Computer. Is this some malware I picked up or something new from Google? How do I get rid of it or turn it off?

Funny ... Just started seeing the same thing with Google. Only started about 9:00am? Running all my scans now, but it sounds like it may be a Google issue.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing this morning but just did a few more searches and it's gone now for me.

It's google being helpful and telling you that that particular site has been reported as being harmful, and may try to put a virus on your computer when you visit it.
That is what my searches found out, but flagging every single site that comes up in a search isn't very helpful.

Looks like a bigger "Big Brother" testing the waters to see how much outrage this will cause so they can figure out a way to silently launch it. I wonder if Lord Obama put them up to this?

Maybe it's like those "coffee is hot" warnings on paper cups.

Obama? Bush got blamed for everything, I don't think we should do the same.

I think it's plausible.
You know, I heard he hates little children and wants to ban country music too.
I read on the interweb that he eats little children and kicks dogs.
