What happened to Google?

I am unable to get to google at the moment. I usually use Google.com.au but have tried google.com and cannot connect to either. I have tried with both IE and Firefox so I don't think it is a problem with my system although I did detect a virus yesterday in an email. Norton supposedly prevented it doing any damage as I did not open the message, only previewed the header using mailwasher.
I have run full system scan since then and nothing shows up.

Weird. Just tried again and it's back. Must have been a domestic problem here in Australia.
Thanks.

Suspect there is some kind of scheduled maintenance or update happening to google's servers worldwide.

Yeah, looks like it's under attack. I have garbage for most of the text on the Google home page.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
