I had problems searching fo KERS after seeing it mentioned with relation to formula 1 and even WikiPedia was being listed as harmfull. I wondered if a new worm called KERS was causing havoc….

What is most amusing (to me anyway) is that stopbadware.org is saying they don’t provide their lists to Google and google are saying a human error in one of StopBadWares lists caused the problem
