Have you noticed lately that some of your Google searches have steered you wrong? In independent analysis, Google results are of higher quality than those from competing search engines, a Google spokesman said.

The Google spokesman said the company prohibits ads that distribute malware or seek to scam users, and removes billions of ads each year that violate its terms.
