and in the results (about the 7th or 8th down, safe search off)

the following caught my eye

This site may harm your computer

Apparently it's some warning/malware thingie google are ading into their search, and no the site isn't affiliated with PressF1 to the best of my knowledge, but how long have google been doing this?, it's a good idea (after all journalists are dodgy people by and large), I don't actually know whats at the particular site as I didn't go any further, and for obvious reasons i am not providing a link here

hmmmm drat there was going to be a point to all this but i forgot it

639635 2008-02-12 09:41:00 Damn Google's quick (well, at 5 hours later, sorta). Like most posts here that get spider which seems like instantly, this thread already rates third for download "chris keall" (www.google.co.nz). sal (67)

639637 2008-02-13 01:48:00 Apparently Google started the warnings on "badware" (www.betanews.com) search results some 18 months back - but I didn't notice any myself till 7 or 8 months ago bevy121 (117)
639638 2008-02-13 01:56:00 Cheers Bevy Morgenmuffel (187)
639639 2008-02-14 17:36:00 I'd love to see Google calling me harmful but unfortunately I can't find the warning ... anybody got a link or screen shot or anything? Chris Keall (10417)

If you follow the link Bevy gives it's about number 7, I have safe search turned off

639641 2008-02-15 03:48:00 I think Nigel meant to say Sal's link rather than mine ...

You'll need to set google Preferences :

" SafeSearch Filtering - Do not filter my search results. "

before you'll see the Chris Keall entry in the search return, as Nigel said.

(edit - no I just checked - its there even with google strict filtering switched on)
It's still about the 7th or 8th one down :)
