I am also seeing this with IPv4 addresses: 142.250.80.68

whois says this is a Google owned IP address

Yes, they are very aware of the issue, as noted when I mentioned it to them in their support chat:

[Loki001]

Okay thank you!

[BillH99999]

I just did an update and it seems to be fixed here as well.

Yep, same here. I'm getting calls from numerous clients that run MWB. Very busy morning!

Hello-

An update has been pushed out to resolve the issue, please update your databases, restart and check.

[KeithJ]

I was having this issue as well this morning.  I opened MWB and checked for updates.  There was one so I downloaded and installed it and the issue seems to have resolved itself.  I am now on Premium 4.5.14

[Val]

same problem.  I can't even uninstall the MWB program.  Never happened....ever....until now.

if i had to guess, malwarebytes issue.

I'm "relieve' that its not just an issue with my computer but it's more of a malwarebyte issue? 
I'm still getting it

[Josh85615]

Not sure if this is a fluke but I manually clicked on Check for Updates in MB and it installed on real quick and now it seems to be okay to use Edge.

[Tousey]

Is it wise to disable it? What if an attack of some kind is coming in through Google?

[GPCamies]

somebody pressed a wrong key somewhere, malwarebytes has gone and blocked the whole of google, thats quite something, lets hope they pick up the phone and talk, and discuss what the hell's going on.

[TheGamingDefinition]

Can confirm the same has been happening to me. Was panicking thinking I'd gotten a virus on both of my work PCs. Glad to see it's just a silly error, crisis averted lol.

[ylb_WebTeam]

Sorry. It looks like they were trying to access their site from Google or something and got this message.

What i found that helped was to completely just close malwarebytes temporarily since this is not our computer issue but malwarebytes

[ColdButterChicken]

Malwarebytes started blocking google and all sites attached to it. Searching with google or any sites on google will tend to lead to a 404 error. 

Placing Google/files/chrome.exe in the allow list does not work. Malwarebytes continues to block and prevent me from using Google.

If anyone is looking for a quick fix while the main issue is being adressed I have dissabled "Web protection" under real time protection.

  

[jschoppert]

The only work around I could find that would work completely is shut off all protection in Malwarebytes Premium and in Nebula if you can get to your policies disable everything under "Real-Time Protection" temporarily.

[THoff]

The big question is:  Is it safe to turn off Web Protection, or is that the 2nd shoe?

[DeeCeeDee]

Ouch

[Greg-TimeAssistant]

Mine seems to have been fixed after an application update

 

open MB -> Settings wheel -> check for updates

 

hopefully that's it fixed

Looks like the new update has fixed the problem.  Have tried multiple sites and all seem to be clear of the Google blocks.  Thank you Malwarebytes.

 

 

 

[JBBooks]

There is a popup on the main page that they are aware of the issue

[jmargel]

Scratch that.  About 2 minutes after turning it back on I could not reach google platforms again.
