I noticed that with some alarm for a short time yesterday while I was in Windows 7 beta. All the finds in the search had the message: "This site may harm your computer". :eek:

I immediately deleted the browser cache, ran a virus scan, installed Spybot and ran a Spybot scan.

LOL, these warnings can really freak one out. I almost did the same myself...
