Why is Google Running Ads for Known Malware Sites?

Posted 11/14/2008 at 11:11:40am

Our companys google adwords account was hacked a week ago and someone put a campaign for this exact ad  and put a limit of 10,000.00 a day. The campaign racked up thousands of dollars before I realized what had happened. I emailed google and after 4 days or so, they responded and took care of the problem and we did not have to pay for the irronious charges. Not sure why google approved the ad in the first place, it was obviously a Russian ad that was a malware antivirus site.
