Search engine results increasingly poisoned with malicious links

I agree - I'm in IT support, and part of my work is having to assume remote control of computers. Direct them to logmein123.com, they fail half the time (all users are not created equally) and end up on malicious sites, most of the time found in Google's own search results, and I've even had a user get two separate dodgy infections in the course of me trying to direct them to the correct website.

There is so much more that could be done but I suspect Google enjoys the ad revenue.
