Malware Attacks Through Google Search

When you go on Google to look for something, you trustingly click on links in hopes of finding what you want but doing so can expose you to malware. Google has been a very reliable search engine for finding what you need but recently their algorithm that allows you to find what you need has been sprinkled with links that have malware. Sunbelt Software, a security firm, has been looking at this trend for some time where "any Google search term–even terms like 'hospice'– can take you to one of these malware sites." Google hasn't fixed the problem yet but they know about the problem.
