WTF !!! looks like google has fixed the problem.... i got that "harmful" tag for all those sites a few minutes ago and now those sites are all working fine....


did google actually solve the problem THIS quickly ?? i mean how did they find out about it and how could they solve it so quick. ??
< or this bug had been around for more than one day ??>

It's not fixed.

Google didn't corrected it till now , the error is not showing because google is not providing the redirection service , the links are direct now , previously it was passed through a Verification server before redirecting....
