walker 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Hi all Edit Sorry and Thanks moddies for fixing my expletive title Just tested with this search "Power to weight ratio of batteries per year" All searches are coming up with the malware warning. This site may harm your computer. Either that or every website in the world has been hacked Just checked with Dinger to verify. All searches are coming up with the malware warning. Google must be seriously FUBAR Kind Regards walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted January 31, 2009 Yep, Google service is FUBAR. Search results are all blocked and even new mails on Google Mail all get thrown into spam. I'm hoping they're just experiencing some problems. Worst case scenario: they've been hacked somehow. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Is Altavista still alive? I used it alot back in -99 while at college. I was much more pleased to search results it gave me compared to Google. I believe it was -02 when i found internet again when i went back to school. At that point of time Google seemed to be far superiour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
