can't find the news story now, hmmm, wonder if Google had that killed? Anyway, The warning was not to use Google today as it has a malicious Trojan attached to it.

Heard it on Fox News, so ,not an April Fools joke, just be careful today using Google

I couldn't find the story on Fox either. Googled an aspirin pic and got no message from Norton. Think I will google the story.

Google prolly requested that Fox place the story in a blue poly cart.
Fox prolly complied with the request from Googles legal team.

yea, I read that to, but the story was about Google having a malicious trojan on it that installed itself on your computer and copied information and emailed it somewhere.

Sites affected are Wired, USA Today, and CNET. A malicious program is attached with corrupted javascript coding.
