I'd pay to see the data on how many paid google ads ran for 'flashplayer' 'flash' and similar.
After watching people I know search for it (years ago) and click the first result (which was never the actual flashplayer) - they must of infected 10s of thousands.
Also terms like 'social security admin' 'new social sec card'- I watched my mom do the same thing - g-search, click first results.. start filling in info, second screen more personal info, third screen start to question whyu.. fourth screen - wait this ain't right.. sigh.
