Da Vinci Code Fans Targeted By Real International Conspiracy

,----[ Quote ]
| But on Wednesday morning the top Google search result for âdeath star 
| researchâ â the logical query â would bring you no closer to unraveling the 
| Lost Symbol mystery. Instead, it produced a malicious website that uses 
| pop-ups, mouse-trapping and a well-executed fake virus scan to trick you 
| into installing a Windows executable that will screw up your computer 
| pretty badly.
