Why whenever I run a Google search that returns a link to BS, that I then click upon, am I presented with a "This site may harm your computer" page? This has only begun to happen recently. I don't know if this happens to everybody or not but it doesn't look too good.

That happened to me just then, as well as earlier in the day.

Google aside, there are a lot of black hat advertising websites that pay more per impression / click - but the trade off is they use iframes and flash banners which encapsulate malware.
They start changing your homepage URL and everything. They load up your machine with adware and before you know, your browser settings change and it feeds in search results to sites affiliated with their network.
Up to date anti-pop up software and current anti-virus is usually one step ahead, but some sneak through.

So providing I don't click on the advertising banners, my machine will be impervious to malware infection from that particular site?
