It's Google Malware Warning, in which Google will tag your website with "This site may harm your computer" in search results.

Well, my problem has been solved now.

It’s going frequent all over the web nowadays as Google making more attention to the third party link or site which is being used by webmasters on the sites. This can also be happen if the site contains advertising provided by a third party, or if the site’s host server has been hacked. And, if G thinks - it’s a link which can send any malware to the visitors. Then, Google will refuse to link to it by tagging the website with “This site may harm your computer”. And, that particular web page which violates the G guidelines can be seen in the Google Webmaster Tool and can easily be rectified by making the needful changes in the website.

Which ads are you using? Some times due to CPM ads you get such warnings.

I also notices that mit.... What is happening to Google right now?

I have seen sites lately that display like what your saying.. This site may harm your computer.

Maybe if you e-mail the Google itself they can help and tell you with that matter...

A possible reason for such case is when a website has some automated service (in link exchange, ads, etc.). Possibly from several IP's or URL's that were previously penalized or banned...

Actually, if you have this kind of problem, just must need to have an account on G webmaster tools.

From there, you can get the basic problem / problematic URL and then you can find and fix the problem.

Yeah! this can be the possibility. But I am not seeing it yet. What I noticed is the code from the 3rd party by which that site was in this G Warning.
