Small example: When you search "VLC" on google on find scams websites shipping VLC with a toolbar/crapware/malware, buying or not adwords...
Google plainly refuses to remove those websites, because they gives Google some money. So they make money from scammers, know it clearly and do not want to do anything...
And as we are a very small team of volunteers, it is impossible to attack those websites...
NB: this happens with other software too.
