Hi

Just for laughs I typed my name into Google search and lo and behold while I pop up from my web site and different posts on Synthzone and psrtutorial and the like, BUT, there are these free mp3 download sites that have me listed. Maybe this isn't that big of a deal, BUT, the little bit that I did search in the time I had, my name has been used from SynthZone posts and according to the topic of discussion, my name is now guiding people to buy health insurance and laptops!!!!!!!!

This I think is not a great thing. I am not sure what to do. This is relatively recent because occasionally I will do a Google search with my name for laughs. This has happened within the last couple months anyway.

The interesting thing about this is that once on the web site my name or the SZ article does not show up.

Does anyone else experience this?

What do you think about this little new internet BS??

My wife says lawsuit time.

Now I see the mp3 sites are really using me to sell things too! Some sites are about getting a loan, another is find a sex partner in Pensacola, where I live. Holy cow!

This has got to be something brand spanking new. I have not seen anything in the news anyplace about this one.

Hello Scott
Virtually all of the links are blocked by my AntiSpyware /Anti Virus program, which mean they are not legitimate sites, and so I am afraid there is not much you can do as you will find the sites are outside US Jurisdiction.
Make sure you have the latest AntiSpyware/Anti Virus installed and run a full check on your system, as it is possible that your computer has been infected.
Have at least Windows Defender, Ad Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy AntiSpyware programs installed, and run them regularly. (Windows Defender is Pro Active so there is no need to manually run it)
Hope this helps

Bill

Scott,

I just did a Google search of my name and ironically, the very first item was on the money, listing my job with the Washington Post. A couple lines farther down listed my web site. Some of the others had different middle initials, therefore they didn't apply to me. Several listed me in the filming industry, but obviously, this is a different person. As for the porn stuff, I didn't make it into that category--I must be too old, or something.

Cheers,

Gary
