jalaffa Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Google saw its entire search offering crippled on Saturday afternoon leaving millions of internet users unsure whether their search results let them to possible dangerous sites that could harm their computer.Google users clicking on a link regardless of the destination from any Google search result were told that visiting the site could harm your computer.Instead of the site in question, users were re-directed to a Google page:"Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!"
