Google Thinks Your Computer Is Infected

I only discovered this when someone sent me an email because he thought the User Agent Switcher extension was causing this, but it happens for everyone it seems. Follow these steps to see a strange message from Google.

Open your web browser and go to http://www.google.com/.
Type inurl:google.com into the search box.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the 'Next' link.

You should now see a page informing you that Google thinks your computer is infected with a virus or spyware! I am not really sure what is going on here, but it is very weird.

Update: It looks like Google has fixed this now.
