Internet security pro F-Security reports misspelling Google with a simple misstep on the keyboard you could be in for some real trouble. Some internet troublemakers have put together the sight googkle(notice the k and l together like on the keyboard) and it's loaded with problems.
The site flows with Trojan horses, Spyware and backdoors into your computer that will create havoc with your system. It starts as soon as you hit the website and continues right on with popups that go to bad places as well.
A nice malware package get installed on an affected computer: 2 backdoors, 2 trojan droppers, a proxy trojan, a spying trojan (that steals bank-related information) and a trojan downloader.
While Google does a fairly good job of protecting its users from problems, this really is an evil thing some malcontents have done but no matter how much they try, some jerks always want to cause problems.
Needless to say, don't go the googkle.com. It'll cause more problems than you want or need. If you'd like more info and want to read the full alert, please visit F-Security.
