Just another reminder to be careful when you use Google or any other search engine:

If last November you googled one of thousands of innocuous and common search terms, such as “Microsoft excel to access” or “how to teach your dogs to fetch,” you were in line for an Internet attack that infects PCs with spam senders, password stealers, and other kinds of nasty malware.
Beginning on November 24 and continuing for less than a week, bad guys loaded up more than 40,000 Web pages with malicious software and thousands of common search terms. They then employed an automated network of malware-infected computers – known as a botnet – to link to those sites in blog-comment spam and other places. The mentions elevated the position of the poisoned sites in search results, often to the first page.

None of the sites from this wave, or a smaller follow-up group, appear now on Google, and Eckelberry and other experts believe the search giant has blocked those specific domains. But Google isn’t saying what it did to stop this attack, or whether measures are in place to halt a recurrence.
