Suddenly this morning, every time I do a google search, Google warns me that every single sit may harm my computer. If I click on the link any way, Google puts up a malware warning, asking if I’m really sure I want to click on the link.

This is happening regardless of the search terms - every single link in the Google-verse can apparently harm my computer.

Anyone else having this problem?
