Just got this warning from the company's IT department (in the US)
A number of rogue web sites (thousands actually) have been able to get ranked high enough on a number of prominent search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) to show up at the top of the list for search results. But when you click on these sites, you get inundated with malware - Trojans, Viruses, etc.
It is extremely important that you verify that your Virus scanning definitions are up-to-date and all of your critical Windows patches are installed.
For more information regarding this new type of attack and some things to watch for in the search results follow the link below.

Worth being careful for a while.
