What's up with Google search results

Today morning All Google search results were being tagged as potentially dangerous. Seems like a bug or probably due to StopBadware.org being down. The issue seems to have been fixed by now. See the following snapshots. Oops !

Update : It seems the feed from StopBadware.org which Google checks against had an entry for "/" due to "human error" which essentially flagged all URLs as dangerous. Read the official explaination from Google and StopBadware.org.

    Yes I also noticed this. Looks like Google is using StopBadware.org to check if a site is listed as malware. StopBadware.org was down and this might have caused it. Seems like Google have fixed it now and the changes have been propagated. BTW StopBadware.org is having problems.
