The above is not a search that I ran, it was run on a different computer, on
the UK google web site. Note that most of the results are off-topic, and
hosted in Poland. It's not my equipment, and it's certainly not any
software on my equipment. -Dave

No, that isn't the search the UK poster posted. His was this

http://www.google.co.uk/search?as_q...as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=images

And his does not produce the pl results yours does.

Also, whenever I try inputting the search phrase you use I get normal
results. It's only when using the LINK you post that the PL results occur.
 
1. your search is not on first page of results. on the first page enough
good search results pop up

2. google isnt hacked its just tricked into thinking those pl-sites are
"useful" and this is be done since years. normally google knows about
and sometime later those sites disappear again.
 
is not true. my google lists his links too but they appear on later
resultpages not on first. its normal and nothing strange. just some
linkfarms on .pl domains.

all other results appear normal.
 
I tried the same search on Yahoo.com
"the history of milk chocolate".

I got all good results.

No. My search result is absolutely identical to his.

Yours may be but don't try to tell me what *my* search results were. Those
two strings are different and gave me different results, as I noted.
 
OK, well my antivirus software was updated today. I ran a full system
scan with nothing found. I updated ad-aware with the latest definitions
today. It found a few cookies and deleted them. Nothing else was found.
I cleared ALL stored information out of firefox, rebooted the system and
tried again. Again I got mostly results with urls ending in .pl

http://www.google.com/search?q=+"history+of+milk+chocolate"&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&start=30&sa=N

I did get some relevant results, but it is really ODD that most of the
results are off-topic, and hosted in Poland? -Dave

Odd indeed. All I get are references to the history of chocolate.
**shrug**

No off-topic garbage at all.
