Regarding RATs being spread under LG's name

It's probably the advertisement you guys have up. I use Firefox with Adblock so I never notice it / get redirected.

No, it's been happening off and on since last summer. It's a problem on Google's end.

Well if you go to Google and type in LogicalGamers.com or any other web site and use Google to get to the website instead of actually typing it in the URL Address, it uses Google Ads or something similar that Google owns in order to make money off of everyone. It's like Adfly, people visit the adfly url and adfly makes money and gives the user that created the url a very small percent, then the adfly url that was generated by so said user redirects to the original website.

Google would never do that. Nobody would use the search engine that redirects to potentially malicious websites instead of the intended website. Google would be slapped with an antitrust suit so fast their head would spin. It's a bug, we've just got to make Google aware of it. Which is almost impossible since they don't have any support.

Do you remember when they started that campaign for people to find websites and such? Google doesn't use it to redirect to ads, it's technically like Adfly but much smaller. It's a small redirect. You click the link and it sends you to something like (No accurate but an example)
ads.google.com/url=websiteurlhere.com

This was way before we even had advertisements on the website. Before I was even staff if I remember correctly.
