Are you talking about google.co.uk or just google.com searches performed from the UK? At any rate, I'm not seeing anything like that on google.co.uk - it sounds very weird.

hi tedster, its gone back to its normal state now, it only lasted for about 1hr, all very strange, it was on the cashed pages on google.co.uk i got the fright of my life when i first saw it because it was my own sites i was looking at, so i checked out loads more sites that had nothing to do with us and they all showed the same warning message in bright red text, i thought it might have been a browser problem but msn and yahoo were all ok

Was it definitely google that put up the flags? AVG did that (does it still?) and I think a couple of other anti-virus software type things. Maybe it couldn't access its phish library so played safe.
