Yahoo, Google, search results - HACKED!

[ng_reader]

I have children, so I know that I have spyware. So be it.

But I am really ticked that my "sponsored" search results repaginate with
some type of program that lists items 2, 3, and 4, for such websites as:

Blowsearch
2020

And others.

Oddly enough, I just tried it again, and it didn't plug in those URLs that
are no doubt paying some fee to have traffic directed to their website. I've
been fiddling around so maybe that's why.

But I was just curious if someone has heard of this before. Very strange,
and absolutely WRONG!

Be well,

Mr. Curious

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
