The main solution is in the hands of Google to examine what sites are
being pushed up their rankings by obsure search requests and applying
blocking filters to them. IF any of them are genuine, send an e-mail to
each webmaster to inform them. That will immediately reduce malware
infections to unsuspecting users and Scroogle's problem will diminish
over time as infected users clean their machines.

According to the Scroogle page, their odd search requests have
'no referrer'. This strongly suggests they are coming directly from
infected PCs and not from a Scroogle button or Scroogle link on an
infected website. It still leaves open how the PCs are being infected
in the first place.

FYI -they're not looking for washed-up, greasy fingered, drug-running
pilots.
