and you get a ton of websites hosting browser exploits being used to infect

pretty clever. Nothing new just figured I'd pass on the search info in case 
anyone was researching these.

I didn't look real hard or at many of the search result pages, but I 
didn't see any exploits involved in this -- just your typical "use JS 
to (quite realistically) fake an online scan of the machine then push 
an installer .EXE" bogus anti-[adware|malware|spyware|virus] sites.
