I got the message below when trying to search on google.
What the hell? Do I really have a virus? Or does this refer to my ISP?
Is this a scam? The google logo doesn't seem right. :/

But how can they do it? I used the FF google search.
A couple of times when going to www.google.com I got the bottom right part of their image logo on the top left of the page without any text or forms. And once I went to www.yahoo.com and they had a section box (right column) entitled "Premium searches" with all kinds of spam garbage and illegal links... I have a screen shot if you don't believe me :-/

You will know fear...Then you will know pain.
Then you will use a Mac.
Looks like Google had to act in hurry. That's why they didn't even include a logo on that page. Or possibly if it's DOS attack, they wanted to make the page as small as possible, so that the fake requests only load the few bytes.

A hostile DNS attack was launched against google, and that a fake registration to google.com through our favourite spammer domain service was performed.
I'll bet Microsoft is happy. search.msn.com seems to be working fine. :)
Great strategy:
1 Produce Crap Software
2 Allow said software to DDOS competition
3 $$$
It does make one wonder, doesn't it?
Seems almost too perfect. :)
