Careful what you search for and click on — at least if you’re using Google you benefit from its association with Badware.org.
Of course as I searched for “Conficker nmap” this just now, the first hit is:
googlesearch-confickernmap
As I click on it, here’s the warning:
googlesearch-confickernmap-badware
If you click on “Why was this site blocked”, you will get the following advisory:
googlesearch-confickernmap-advisory
Lesson to be learned: when a search term becomes really popular, apply extra caution in:
- search engine you use
- links you click on
- which browser you use (Firefox with NoScript extension recommended)
