Hi malware fighters,

Antivirus-XP malware (that even acquired a security certificate (illegally)) is still being tolerated by Google to appear via Google Adwords. So unaware visitors can be infected by large trustworthy site-ads for this notorious malware.

An in-depth analysis of the Antivirus-XP rogue av, and what it does can be found here:

We are better without this, my friends, so Google go clean up your act!
Or is it here like with Vericom that never blacklists notorious spammers in spite of what amount of abuse reported, they let the spammer spam on.

I have not trusted Google since they bought OINGO
or AD-Aware since they used/allowed OINGO technology to redirect misspelled or browser input errors to google add sites
This was brought to light when the Ad-Aware forums went down and the phoney “search engine” popped up

Oingo “improves your internet experience” by targeting adds to your surfing habits
in this case disguised as search engine hits
Worse even than AdSense (which may use Oingo technology)

Fortunately, Malware domains filter from AdBlock Plus blocks it into Firefox.
