oxid.it insecure?

I did a google search on security concerning Remote Desktop, and one of
the hits was a pdf from oxid.it. When clicking on it I got a "google
warning message" that content from this source could harm my computer.

Is there any record of this site having intrusive web content, or is the
warning simply based on the fact that some of the advice/procedures
given dig deep into security issues, to the extent that you may harm
your own security if you don't know what you're doing?

Could there be other reasons for Google to warn about this site?
(Authentic warning, or ulterior motives for warning?)

I have used some info and software from oxid.it, and have not
experienced any objectionable or undocumented features. Did I miss
something?

search for oxid.it pdf
first hit:

http://www.google.at/interstitial?url=http://www.oxid.it/dow nloads/rdp-gbu.pdf#search=%22oxid.it%20pdf%22

what's next, search for "adobe reader" and google tells you to ABSOLUTELY click on this link, 'cause these guys deliver
quality product?

I am not sure what to think of this...

My thougths exactly. Just felt I needed a second opinion this time.
Thanks to both of you.
