Did you click on page 2, that's where the stuff starts. Luckily the first page that comes back is free of crap.
It happened first on my wife's iPhone, hence how I got in 'trouble' lol. iPhone doesn't even use Google afaik?
This is what I get right now with safesearch on
On page 2 of the results.
I get the same on my wife's laptop, although there it doesn't return pages but you just scroll down to the mess (same result)
The bad results don't turn up on Bing, interestingly Bing returns tons of search results from posts I made on the Microsoft Flightsim forums, little biased lol. When I bing for "Road 96 Fortune Pig" the real link turns up
https://www.reddit.com/r/Road96/comments/p8g2a7/fortune_pig_fortune/
(I didn't post there, no replies from me at all in that thread)
Google "Road 96 Fortune Pig" and I also get the correct result, yet followed by all those scam results
Seems there are even more of them around. All those links go back to [172.64.80.1] which is Cloudflare hosting network.
Anyway good to know it doesn't happen for everyone, but that is very strange.
Can my wife's iPhone, laptop and my laptop all be infected with the same virus? And how would a local virus even be able to grab stuff from Reddit posts I made years ago and infiltrate my results from Google. It also happens when I Google on Edge on my wife's laptop (which I just turned back on since at least half a year ago. The thing was complaining about being behind on windows updates, Firefox needed updating and wanted a full refresh since it's been so long. So very unlikely it caught a virus while being off all this time)
Yet I haven't tried searching on a different network, it's all from my home network.
Could it be a problem on my ISP's end?
