    Works for me every time

    How to Fix "Google Safe Browsing Service is Unavailable" Error in Safari.

     

    1.  On the Finder Menubar, click "Go".

    2.  Then click, "Go to Folder"

    3.  Type in:  /private/var/folders  <Hit enter>

    4   There will be a few folders; open them up and look for a folder named com.apple.files.

    5.  Find, and open the folder named, com.apple.safari.

    6.  In this folder, there should be a file named, safebrowsing.db

    7.  Send the safebrowsing.db file to the trash and delete it.  This will force Safari to rebuild the file.

    8.  This should fix the problem.  But check back again to test it.  Note, the file dosen't seem to update daily.

     

    Hope this helps.
