| 327472 | 2005-02-23 00:32:00 | Yer, so whats the prob?? What were u expecting to come up, if u typed in NHL? Who said those sites are spyware related?? I think you're paranoid about the word NHL! Things / places get added to search engines, most probably every day. |

| 327473 | 2005-02-23 00:38:00 | Are you sure that you are really using Google and not the FindWhat search engine? Do you get the same results if you enter the query from the google web page? | PaulD (232) | ||

| 327475 | 2005-02-23 00:55:00 | Something not right there. I get 12,100,000 results same as Jen If you are using a Google tool bar go to www.google.com and search from there as your search bar may have been hijacked. |

| 327478 | 2005-02-23 02:00:00 | I think you guys are misunderstanding the original poster Now, half a year later, whenever I search for something on google, these are the first matches I get... So it sounds like no matter what he searches for on google, he always gets NHL results. Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick? PCGUY: Have you tried installing Firefox and doing a google search that way? |

| 327479 | 2005-02-23 02:04:00 | I think somehow you are getting Froogle results instead of Google . pcguy's results don't look like Google at all, no "cached" or "similar pages" but urls have FW or Findwhat as referer . Findwhat integrates into Excite, Metacrawler and DogPile search results . |

| 327480 | 2005-02-23 02:54:00 | do the usual spyware scan/delete bit as there are several spyware which intercept google requests and inserts its own answers. | tweak'e (69) | ||
