So-called typosquatting leaves a dangerous option for PC users who spell the popular search engines name incorrectly a certain way.

Be aware of how you spell Google. A malicious web site at googkle.com is loaded with all kind of nasty Trojans and downloaders to infest your machine.

No action beyond visiting the site is necessary to trigger the malware.

Simply avoiding the site by being careful of what you type will prevent your machine from becoming a target. Antivirus vendors recommend updating your signature files regularly.
