Watch out for Google, says Google. Google’s Safety Browsing tool, which evaluates websites on how likely they are to infect you with things like malware, had put Google.com in the “partially dangerous” category.

It’s unclear how long Google.com has been labeled “partially dangerous” by Google’s page status report, although some blog posts suggest that it had that status already in November, although it appears to be now changed, and Google.com is currently “not dangerous.” 

Websites that have been deemed “dangerous” by Google can request a rescan of its website if the malware has been removed, and its status will be updated in 24 hours.
