View Full Version : Google's Blocking Results

Google is blocking all the results after I search something. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, or if anyone knows how to fix it. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Google says, "This site may harm your computer" after all its results.

Now none of the results are being blocked (within the last 7 minutes), but if anyone knows the reason for this, I'd like to know if I can fix it from happening again.

Edit: Now all of them are being blocked again. This is getting confusing and annoying.

I've only ever had that happen a couple of times. Try turning safe search off.

^^ Its not happening to me; I have an idea as to what it may be, but I'll only elaborate if someone says something similar to what I'm thinking, because I could be way off and I don't feel like coming across as an idiot. ;)

It's working fine now. But I still wonder if it was just a glitch or not.

It has something to do with penguins hacking into Google's databases, am I right?

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was just a bug. Google has had a couple times in the past years where odd things like this have happened, but they've all cleared up eventually.

That's strange. I've never had that happen to me. Did you try using a different browser?
