    If some place at your own/another's site links/linked to you with a wrong URL, Google will report it as an error to you...

    I have same issue:

    Both of you check your source code for any malicious code.

    The only time you should see those 404's is when you have an internal broken link or a previous indexed paged that had been deleted.

    not true, someone could have posted the link with anything after it on a board or something and google indexed it

    just create the file and put it as a 301 redirect to your front page, should remove it

    With all the sites I have been dealing with I have never seen this and if it could happen it would be a nightmare for all of us.

    Do you (or anyone else) know of other sites mentioning this problem? I wouldn't mind checking up on it.
