The Malwarenet

The Internet Malwarenet: As of today it's official, the whole internet is a declared malware zone. Ok, serious. Today, for a short time, Google showed the message "This site may harm your computer" for every search result. Even this page has been marked as malware:



And what happens when the biggest search engine in the world gets unusable? A substitution takes place and yahoo's web servers can show their will to survive. The whole magic was over after 45 minutes, but it might show some of us how dependent we are from the big "G".

Edit: It seems that the problem still exists internally. The public search is back to normal, but the google webmaster tools report that every page of mine may distribute malware. Let's hope this does not affect global rankings.

Edit: Everything is back to normal. Google reports, that StopBadWare.org mistakenly submitted the URL "/" as a dangerous website, which matched for all domains resulting in the error we've just experienced.

Happy searching :)
