    At the company I used to work for, I was the tech guy and my boss was not, he was a business guy (and a real estate appraiser).

    I had to tell my boss never to click on “sponsored” Google results. I forget what piece of software he was searching for, but I didn’t want him downloading malware. Because I’ve seen lots of fake results like this before.

    This was just the most sophisticated one I’ve seen.

    It isn’t just KeePass, search for basically any software (like Firefox or VLC) and you’re likely to see a “sponsored” result that’s a scam/malware.
