Google said it routinely flags any search results with that message if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously, a practice aimed at protecting its users.
It gets its list of suspicious sites from StopBadware.org, a nonprofit project headed by legal scholars at Harvard and Oxford universities who research consumer complaints.
The Google error only lasted about one hour.
I wonder if this had anything to do with why the Google Adsense “gadgets” on my desktop stopped working.
