    I search for “NordVPN” (because all the cool YouTubers use it!) and the first result is “Norton 360 with an install button.

    It’s a “sponsored result” and it’s easy to install the wrong thing if you’re used to it actually finding the thing you just typed in.

    If I put Firefox. I get duckduckgo. Okay, maybe not so bad and pretty obvious. But I’ve had these things for apps that almost look like the legitimate one.
