This is funny.  For the past thirty minutes or so, Google’s Safe Browsing service has been flagging all search results as harmful (the dreaded “This site may harm your computer” link), including those for Google’s own pages.  

Here’s the actual warning page itself:

UPDATE1: This is definitely widespread.

UPDATE2: Fixed, after thirty minutes or so.  

UPDATE3: Naturally, on TechMeme via TechCrunch.

UPDATE4: Some donkey checked in a list of bad sites with a ‘/’ at the top.  Heh.

Install NewsFire on OS X and import hundreds of feeds that you no longer care to read? Frustrated by the lack of multiple-select support in the feed list (but not complaining because NewsFire is otherwise bad ass, and free)? Too lazy to press [Command+Delete]+Enter until the list is empty?

The file that you’re looking for is located at /Users/[USER]/Library/Preferences/org.xlife.NewsFire.plist, and is best edited with PropertListEditor.app.

If you want a complete purge, delete the Feeds array, and create a new one in its place.
