Why Google Search blocked all results?
Google warning interstitial: Visiting this web site may harm your computer! Is it a virus or a Google power demonstration that should show us the internet without Google Search?
LE: The blocking demonstration is not only for english content on google.com. Also all spanish based Google search engines are down. Este sitio puede danar tu equipo
Human error: This is the final edit of this article. It was a simple and human error, said Google, and this Google glitch causes confusion, said StopBadware.org. The internet is safe now. :-)
Few hours ago, Google changed its main page, inserting under each and every result a “This site may harm your computer.” link.
As this seemed to be too easy, Google changed also the links to all results websites. This being told, picking and clicking any search result will redirect you to an interstitial page that will block everything and let you with only 2 suggestions.
1. Return to the previous page and pick another result.
2. Try another search to find what you’re looking for.
As far as I can see, StopBadware.org, the website recommended by Google interstitial page to help me in this matter and give me more info about the fact that I cannot view a specific page, is down. Also it has a curious Whois.
Later Edit: Everything is ok now… Google stopped showing “This site may harm your computer.” link and interstitial page.
