A comment on Google.com partially dangerous.

This is almost surely not content hosted on Google.com, but content hosted on sites which Google redirects to.

If Google serves a single malicious site as a linked result (or in a redirect) it will flag Google.com as hosting malicious content.

This has been the case for years now, also for other Google properties, like Youtube and DoubleClick.

Right, but it's still odd that other Google TLDs (as reported in this thread) are not flagged.
