this actually could be one of their "tricks"
I was looking for Xmas wallpapers and I connected to some nice ones, doing a google search.
Since being hijacked in the recent past, I check sites with "McAfee Site Advisor"
I connected with "green' sites, but when I selected an image, I was often take to a page that ranked yellow, and in most cases red.

A number of malicious websites have popped up online over the past few weeks, and unlike most dangerous destinations that lurk in the dark recesses of the Internet, these have been showing up at or near the top of some <A target="_blank" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7118452.stm">seemingly innocuous Google searches</A> for words like "Christmas". The sites, believed to be run by a high-tech wing of the Russian mafia, used flaws in older versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser to install malicious software that could take control of your computer.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9FF97883-A523-4366-981D-9484910C76BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
