    No what I'm getting is the virus alert saying that it found in Google a plain_logo.png infected with W32/RaHack.ET.worm

    After which I begin with my searching but somehow Google's query box copies automatically whatever is in the clipboard without me typing or pressing anything :O

    BTW, this behavior does not occur using any other search engine.

    Looks like, and curiously today my antivirus is warning me about W32/RaHack.ET.worm present in this post and just deleting it from my cache.

    So is not Google at all but wherever its double image is placed, LOL

    Thread is relatively old but topic is new and hot. At the Underground forum there is a thread dated back to one year ago and still hot.

    Anyway I can't take out of my mind that Google is manipulating our searching somehow and probably that exploit is being used by those useless farm sites out there :O
