Point of reference here: Google is now indicating possibly risky sites

Is this what the now-plonked OP was referring to? Who knows?

LOL

Why do the trolls care? Give it up and move on Cowards. Such a simple
issue that has been amplified by so many. Pathetic little bunch here that's
for sure. These are the ones that find it is necessary to continue and
somehow feel they are doing this group some sore of service. I am expected
to take direction from these hypocrites LOL

A troll is someone who intentionally posts an inflammatory comment to stir
things up.
No one in this thread did this.

Some directed you on how to post so to better receive answers (in this
case - that you should provide more information and not expect those reading
it to know what product you were using or what error message/warning you
actually received without you providing such information - or at least not
EXPECTING others to GUESS at what you meant...) and some asked you direct
questions to help further your original question - narrow it down to a more
specifc question with actual details so it might be answered. You have
consistently denied the need to do this.

The only 'hypocrite' (person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated
beliefs or feelings) I see here might be yourself - as you have seemingly
asked for assitance - requested that others helped you - but refused to
answer the simple questions that might lead to an answer to your question.

It's almost like you posted not to get help (as would be inferred by you
posting here) - but to 'stir things up'... What do you think?

If you still want help - here's the questions... again...

- Google what?
Google - as in www.google.com?
A Google service as in http://www.gmail.com or
http://groups.google.com?
A Google provided application like Google Toolbar or Google
Desktop?
Perhaps a Google for Mobile device application?
- What was the exact message that lead you to believe that whatever
'Google' service/app/web page you are talking about knew you were
infected?
- What were you infected with according to Google XXXXX?
- What did Google XXXXX tell you to do?

Actually, it appears that the post to which you relied fits
the definition precisely.

HOW DARE you walk your under-educated back side into this newsgroup asking
for help then attacking one of the most prominent members in it because of
your pathetic excuse for a well formed question meant he had to tell you to
rephrase.

Get the hell out of our newsgroup. Yes, and I am top posting just to piss
you off.
