The error message “Warning visiting this site may harm your computer” can be a true message that comes from Google, IE, Firefox or your security software. No matter what, you will find out it is more than easy to know if your browser has really been hijacked by some threat. First, any advertisement about some product you should buy is a way to know you should not trust the program. For exact examples or to learn how to solve this check out this Warning Visiting This Site May Harm.
Do not believe any text/ads you could see under the Google Search box if you do use the search engine. The extra text only wants to mislead you. Another example would be a good website you do happen to visit on a daily basis. So you know are on a good website and your browser is telling you the reverse: start thinking your computer is rather infected. In many cases these threats can be hard to remove. Another place to go to learn more about similar threats is this Malware Removal site.
Normally when people keep getting this type of message on just about every site they visit it’s very easy to know your infected with something. Resetting your browser anew is a good way to solve this problem, but sometimes it doesn’t work. It will eventually clean the threat, but not for everyone. However you should still run a full security scan using whatever client you like best.
If this method does not resolve your issue then you most likely have a deeper infection and more than one threat installed on your computer. The best thing you can do is to learn more about the fake security software they are trying to pitch you. Using the sites I wrote before: search for the name of this bad program (and write it down to help you). There you will find some very detailed guides covering how to remove the exact threat you have installed on your computer.
