THAT is the single most retarded comment on this thread!

Naaaah.
The most retarded comment is the one you just made.

So google which OWNS the search engine business and is DEADLY combat with Apple vs Android, has gamed their own search engine to show thousands of problem apps and viruses effecting Android and None effecting Apple? “

Nope.
Applebots can and DO game search engine results though, just like Google was gamed by Bush haters to display, George Bush's name whenever a search was made for “miserable failure”:

"Google Kills Bush’s Miserable Failure Search & Other Google Bombs
Jan 25, 2007 at 11:00pm ET by Danny Sullivan

After just over two years, Google has finally defused the “Google Bomb” that has returned US President George W. Bush at the top of its results in a search on miserable failure."

Search results are gamed all the time, and not necessarily by the search engine owners. The search engine owners can change their algorithms to get around the "bomb" though if they want. Only thing is, Google is very happy to promote the "Window is not secure" meme, so they will not necessarily be in any hurry to defuse such a search "bomb".

In fact, Google has been throwing FUD at Windrows for as long as I can remember.
No more Windows at Google: Just FUD?

Reminds me of the earlier days of Microsoft’s search engine, where searching for “Linux” would return mostly sites that encourage you to switch to Windows, or that showed Microsoft-paid studies of how much better Windows was. IIRC, there was about one actual Linux link on the first page of results.
