Was over at a friends house and we were looking for something online and of course we go to Google. Apparently my friend picked up a drive by download somewhere and noticed Ah-Ha PPC inserting an extra column of PPC resultes in the left column. The results had the same look and feel as Google. I was just wondering if Google has or is doing something about the competition popping up on their results. I know some will say the user agreed to this, but not with drive by downloads.

Sounds like spyware? try ad-aware.com - for a bit of free software to check it out.

You probably encountered spyware on your computer that was inserting results on a Google search...I got the same thing from "Comet"
