"Sponsored search results lead to malware"
"The ads served by Bing and Google along with your search
results are linking more and more often to sites trying to
infect your machine.
Neither Bing nor Google effectively prescreens these bogus
advertisers, so it's up to us to detect and avoid them.
You may recently have used either Google or Microsoft's new
Bing search engine to find the popular Malwarebytes
Anti-Malware utility. If so, chances are good that the
sponsored ads alongside your search results contained links to
the very malware that the security tool is designed to remove."
