Has Google Gone MAD ? - Google.com May Harm Your Computer

Every search query I tried to today, included the Google message:

"Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!"

The message appears for ALL the sites including: Google.com, Wikipedia.com Facebook.com etc..
I thought initially I might be expiriencing something with my connection but megaproxy.com proved me wrong,
Maybe an Addon ? Launched a new profile and the same results.

Please write in the comments if you are experiencing the same thing.

Thanks.

Simon, Thanks.
I saw the TechCrunch post about it after publishing this one.
Ynet article came hours later.

Any how:
Here is the official Google response to the incident:
