Beware of Googkle.com!!!
 
It is not uncommon for users to type Googkle.com for example since the letter ?k? lies next to the letter ?l? that is necessary to type Google. In that event, the user is faced with the possibility of being bombarded with various types of Trojan horse threats and spyware.

Gee I've NEVER mistyped a domain name before and got hit with a bunch of spyware. Thanks for the heads up.

be also aware of Gookle.com, the search only comes up with asian sites!

I don't think this is something that's easily preventable, people who typed Googkle.com made a mistake to begin with, its a typo.

I tried to type googkle.com to check it out and instead I made a typo and inadvertantly typed "google . com" (I inserted spaces so as not to give them free traffic)

That site is a nightmare :mad: I was too shocked to stay long but from what I saw it seems they are engaged in copywright infringement and spamming on a GLOBAL scale.

They systematically steal content from all over the web, alter the format and display it according their whims, while putting advertisements on the page to make them money. :mad: :mad: :mad:
