Happened to me as well, when I clicked on "show me why it's bad" I got a database error.

Looks like Google's servers are messed up and are classing everything as a dangerous link as a result.

If you want to follow a link anyway, you can cut and paste it from that error page into the URL bar at top of your browser.

yep google's servers had gone completely pear shaped world wide - my mum just phoned me from Malaysia as she was using her laptop and was worried about all the warning messages!

Edit : as of 15:45 UK time this appears to have been fixed.. (I bet some goggle techies are going to get what for because of this!)
