Google Ads: Booo!!!!

I have noticed something really disturbing going on with Google searches...Increasing when you search on Google you get Websites lased with keywords having nothing of substance to do with what you're looking for. It might be about time to start looking for another search engine...

Link result tracking

I'm more concerned about the recent proliferation of substituting search results with a Google redirect link.
It used to happen so infrequently that I could barely recall the last time it happened, but in recent weeks it's been happening more and more often.

I know why they do it, but a simple notice that they're keeping track of both search results and what you end up clicking on combined with a way of opting out of it would be nice.
If Google's idea of "do no evil" is to start harvesting more and more personal information I can only imagine what they think would qualify as evil.

Warning GOOGLE TOOBAR Update auto-installed Desktop Search!

If your system protection and spybot popped up earlier this week, with registry change authorizations, you may now have noticed that Google pushed a new version of Google Toolbar onto your desktop.

WORSE yet --> This code INCLUDES Desktop search and there is a new button on the toolbar that allows you to "enable it".


WHERE was the notification? Where was the authorization I gave Google to push a totally separate product on my machine? Where was my authorization to allow them to push a KNOWN SECURITY HOLE onto my machine?

If MSFT had done this, there'd be a front page story on every online site and newspaer proclaiming MSFT ties desktop search into IE browser applet and opens a known security hole.

But if Google does it it's okay?

WARNING: UNINSTALL GOOGLE TOOLBAR if you don't want GOOGLE DESKTOP SEARCH code also on your system!
