Any idea exactly what it is that is going to "damage my computer"?

The site certainly appears innocuous!

I never seen that. Do you have to have the google toolbar or something installed to see that?

Hey what theme are you using on firefox JStergis?

I think the page is displayed in a different language that the computer fails to know. Or it can really be something malicious, but why would Google support such unethical site?

I suspect you may not have set your options on Google Search.

I could get the same thing to come up if I typed in http://www.google.com/interstitial?u...ng/652327.html but how JStergis got there in the first place I do not know.
I see in the right Firefox google search bar "california, red hot chilli peppers" but that does not bring up anything bad either but "Did you mean: california, red hot chili peppers"

But I did type in into the google search page this "http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/652327.html" you see iin the screen shot and I get this...
Your search - http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/652327.html - did not match any documents.

But then "www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/652327.html" and note it is the same link without the http:// and I get this here you see below.

I did that search with IE7, and way down the list that site appears. I didn't get any special warning, but I didn't go there either.

I was searching for lyrics to that song someone posted in the "...Listening..." forum to see if it was the same one I was thinking of, and that was one of the first links.

I clicked on it and got the warning.

Ok thanks
What gets me is the warning I got in the above screen shot is like a 3rd party because I am not even at there site but at google so why did it even come up?
I wonder why?

I tried to actually go to the link, and got the same warning. I guess it's a "standard" feature, since I have my Google options not to filter my search results.
