News, according to foreign media reports, security experts have discovered a malicious program that can lead users to fake Google, YAHOO and MSN sites, making money by increasing traffic by clicking on forged search results.

On Friday, anti Virus Inc Panda software said that PC users infected with the virus would be directed to some fake websites when they log on to the search engines.

Fake websites will also forgery some search results, hoping to expand the income of these websites through user clicks.

Panda Patrick Patrick, chief technology officer, said: "websites that are included in search results should be partners with malicious program makers".

"This is an illegal business activity. It is organized crime, and people make money in this way," he said.

Representatives of Google, Microsoft and Yahoo Corp did not immediately comment on the matter.

Panda reported in the report that PC, which often registers on pirated software and pornographic websites, is likely to catch the virus. The virus code is "PremiumSearch". It is not clear at the moment that the scope and scale of the virus are spreading.

In addition to the completely different search results, fake websites are almost exactly the same as Google and other web pages. Users are hard to identify.

Forged Google sites also have Google toolbars, and can also interfere with forged search results.

He said he had sent a notice to the US ISP (Internet service provider) who provided hosting services to the fake website, but he did not disclose the name of the ISP, and Panda also informed the agencies such as the Federal Bureau of investigation.
