malwarebytes.org misdirection on Yahoo Search

[DebS]

I was trying to get to your website and got misdirected from the Yahoo Search Page. The first Malwarebytes.org listing misdirects you to MalwareBOT. Thought you should know.

I do not see that when I search either Malwarebytes or Malwarebytes.org on Yahoo search. Is it possible that your computer might be infected with something that's editing the search results?

Maybe. My antivirus picked up a backdoor trojan trying to load the first time I clicked the link. So I cleaned my computer. Now when I search the first listing is gone. Interesting.

It very well could have been a BHO (addin/extension) that had installed in Internet Explorer.

I just found it again. It was at the bottom of the page under "Sponsor Results". I attached a screen capture of the link.

I'm not seeing the same sponsored links that you are.

Can you send me a PM with the link to the site that was trying to get you to download MalwareBOT? I can give it to our Lead Researcher for analysis.

Also, you may want to follow these instructions for posting in our Malware Removal forum, and one of our malware removal experts will help you make sure that your computer is clean.

I get those same sites in the google sponsored links all the time. I think Jaxryley or one of the other RogueReporters already submitted those sites a while back, but I'm not sure.

Check this out, just came up right now when I searched for malwarebytes:

You think they're trying to disuade users from downloading MBAM?

I just gave the link that DebS sent me to Bruce, and let me quote his response for you: "we are about to crush that rogue".

You can tell Bruce has way too much fun doing this.

Reported to Google. Let's see how good they are.

Have Fun! Glad I could make your Ground Hog's Day.
