Google warning on every search result page

For a short while yesterday, every page displayed by Google reported messages and warnings about harms affecting your computer. This was in a way that every URL you find in search results have the text displayed as the site might harm the computer.

The Google pages displayed in search results when clicked will display advisory warnings similar to the malware infested websites. The suggestions to the users were given as returning to the previous page for picking results or trying another search for finding out what the users were looking for.

Google has reported that this bug lasted only for around for 40 minutes and this was resolved within a time frame of 55 minutes. This was only a human error which helped when Google tries to flag the sites which are known for installing malwares.

The errors for the pages were noticed at around 6.27 AM and 6.40 AM. This began disappearing at around 7.10 AM and 7.25 AM. The duration of this problem for any user was only for 40 minutes.

Some blogs started reporting this news as a means by which the service was denied to the Google users. Some sites considered it a menace when users try to find out more information from their sites. They hence started showing expectations saying Google will take steps to prevent such things in the future.

    The funny thing about it is that Google warned about accessing their own sites, during these 40 minutes I happened to search for Google ad planner and Google trends got the search results from the google.com domain with a warning.

    Has this problem been fixed yet? I am still seeing these messages on some sites but not all of them.
