Why is Google telling me "This site may harm your computer" about every website, and not letting me go straight there?

Thank you for asking this, amro. I just had this happen with Google here as well, and will be watching this with interest in hopes that the answer isn't "nuke it from space".

It was a coup attempt from Webcrawler.

There are four (FOUR!) threads at Mefi about this. Works fine for me.

All of a sudden the word four looks totally weird.
