Check your AntiVirus and make sure it is up to date. The "warning" is usually put there by the local A/V.

Same thing with me. Must be some something that Google is doing with their servers. It should be back to normal now.

Mine doesn't say that. AVG, my antivrus, puts a green star with a check next to "good" sites. When I hover over the star, a popup shows that the site has been scanned and is safe to proceed to. As for "bad" sites, I know its a red icon, but I have tried about 30 searches so far and haven't found one that is "bad".

Google uses a list of malicious sites provided by stopbadware.org, today Google received and update to that list that mistakenly included the / character. Since / extends to all sites every site was in essence included in this malicious software list. It's fixed now.
