OT: What's up with Google?

When doing a Google search, every site (except sponsored ones) show up with "This site may harm you computer" under the title. If you click on the site title, expecting to go to the site, you are instead presented with a Google warning page.

From what I've found out so far, is that there is no way to go to the reference site or web page short of copying the link (shown in green) at the bottom of the snippet and pasting it your browsers address bar.

This has made Google impossible to use as a search enging.

I have a computer (kind of) question

Should be in Leisure, but does anyone ever go there? I just bought a new-used ipod shuffle. I know how to download from itunes, but can't figure out how to copy from cd. I'm running windows vista. Any advice is appreciated. thx

grrr...

Good question Dennis. Apparently both Manny's agent and Dodger managment prefer to let this get down to the wire so that the Dodger's wouln't have other players available if he doesn't sign and Manny wouln't have another team to go to (yeah, right).
