Google can harm your computer

Seen today on Google search:

And when you click on the first result:

I guess I should stop using Google to protect my computer. :-)

Update: Looks like I'm not the only one affected. See #googmayharm on Twitter. Techcrunch is already covering this.

    The program google uses to scan websites for harmful content was down for a bit this morning, so... no hacks, no worries.
