Story time:

My father complained of virus and malwares on his computer.

I came home, formatted his hard drive and re-installed windows.

I go to eat lunch with my mother in the kitchen, a few minutes later I hear "[baby], I have a virus on my computer!". WHAT?

The first thing he did was to google for "chrome" on internet explorer and use the first result. The first result is a google ads for a malware containing chrome. Had to reformat his computer one more time. I think that's the moment where he got it.

This might be the best argument for using an adblocker indiscriminately.

For whatever reason, the web got to this point where non-technical people get infected within minutes, whatever advertising revenue is lost by content creators isn't worth my headaches providing tech support to family members and friends.

It's truly pathetic that Google is selling ads that respond to a search for "Chrome" with malware.

to google for "chrome" on internet explorer

Is google being used as a generic verb here, in relation to Internet Explorer's default search engine?

I prefer to bing things on duckduckgo.

Bing is selling ads for "Chrome" searches, not Google. IE/Edge default to Bing.

(for the story my father used google.com to search for "chrome")
