Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer problem

I am getting Big Brother Google denying access to what I would have thought are perfectly safe sites including BBC ones with the above message.

Can it be turned off?

Maybe we should move this to the General forum and see if others are affected ?

No, it`s fixed now..
Any search from google (IE or Firefox) and any link couldn`t be followed - with a warning that it would damage your computer....
