Hello all!

My systems relevant info:
Windows XP SP2 fully patched
Mcafee VirusScan 7.1 Engine 4.4 Definition 4581


Using XP SP2s Internet Explorer, in Google, i used the following search
query:

mcafee "driver packet received from the i/o subsystem" "patch 11"

When the results return from google a trojan comes along as well, as
detected by McAfee AV.

I'm aware that browsing to malicious sites can pass malware to users who
visit those sites, but this is new to me:  Trojans being passed through
google results.

Are passing of malicious programs through search engine results common?

Goodbye!
