A quick glance at Twitter (Follow us on Twitter here; Don't know what Twitter is? This should help) reveals that everyone appears to be experiencing the same Google glitch that is pictured above. Google is currently returning false positive "This site may harm your computer." malware warnings on all of its search results, even results containing its own properties. Other than this egregious error, the search engine appears to be functioning normally with no other odd bugs.

UPDATE: Google fixed it a little before 11AM ET.
