I caught one of those messages (I had not seen it before).
The annoying thing was that, although I knew the site was safe, I could find no way of bypassing the warning from that screen.

I can take advice but I don't like the idea of Google forcing my actions (or lack of).  >:(

Yeah, you had to actually edit the URL in the address bar to go directly to the site.
