All These Sites May Harm Your Computer...?!

Posted by: Giorgio in FlashGot, Google, Mozilla

Just googled for Vista TCP Limit on behalf of FlashGot user.
The first 500 results at least are all reported as malicious sites, including the top two, Softpedia and MSFN.
Luckily enough for P2P addicts, Firefox's Safe Browsing -- even if backed by Google's data -- doesn't seem to agree ;)

Looks like it was a more general Google bug, fixed now.

    Same problem here, occurs intermittently. Problems with Google's badware database backend maybe.

    I had the same issue, googled for Photosoftware and every result was marked by the safebrowsing as dangerous.

    Yeah, noticed too. Luckily it was fixed within the hour. I bet someone’s going to get fired!

    Funny thing is even the Google site could harm your computer. But Google acknowledge their mistake and reported that it was a human error.
