Spy Ware Google hijacked Kansas City Star | 08/15/2004 | TROUBLE AGENTS

Kansas City Star | 08/15/2004 | TROUBLE AGENTS: "A variation on the hijacking theme affects the Google search engine. Several spyware applications hijack Google search results and insert ads to make them appear as if they were real results.
In that case and some others, spyware is installed when Internet surfers click on the wrong thing on a Web site's pop-up ad.
Clicking in the wrong place � and sometimes that's a button that says �exit� � downloads spyware, Kedish said. Often, one spyware begets others."
