Hard to believe Google could make such an error.

For the historic record, please post screenshots of the search page and the Google malware warning page.

Thanks.

Seems Google is fixing the error. They have blocked access to the old warning link as well:

Quote:
Google Error

Your client does not have permission to get URL /interstitial?url=http://www.thecepblog.com/2009/01/27/predicting-events-with-logisitic-regression/ from this server. (Client IP address: 203.146.158.5)
I should have taken more screenshots when I first saw the error
