I had a user doing a search on google and it came up with a valid PSU link. When we clicked on the link it took us to a virus page. This happened 3 times before it finally said page not found. (fortunately, the virus scanner stopped the infection.) The link worked fine at Yahoo. I have also noticed that Yahoo is running some type of virus scanner on its web site. I have gotten a few links with the message underneath them that says "possible virus site" or something like that.
I think there are quite a few google hacks going on. But then again, google is the big target, just like M$ Windose.
