a pox on you

I can laugh about it now, but once many years ago I emailed Google when I found a time-wasting website which wasn't what it purported to be, expecting them to remove it or something.

Google searches return blatantly malicious hits: crime pays for Google. Just think how few computer infections there'd be without search engines!

How hard could it be for Google to police their anti-virus search results so that poor users aren't suckered by all the lookalike scams?
