Careful clicking hyperlinks. Don't ever click any of them... no, seriously... I'm not kidding.

Can the search results of Google, Yahoo, MSN and Technorati really be so hazardous to our computers' health? Sadly, the answer is yes. So why do we click on hyperlinks with such wild abandon? The answer is that most of us have been taught that as long as we're not accessing pornography or illegal file-sharing sites, and as long as we keep our antivirus and anti-spyware updated, we're safe. It's time for a reality check.

Complaints about the "crapware," as Geek Squad founder Robert Stephens put it, are prominent in discussion forums and blogs related to PCs. But last week's deal between Dell and Google to install Google software on new Dell PCs shows that more and more of the real estate on the PC is for sale to application vendors, as PC vendors continue to look for new sources of revenue to boost their margins.
