Junky Ads Loose Google Presense

According to a new Google report, the search giant disabled more than 780 million "bad ads," including include ads for counterfeit products, misleading or unapproved pharmaceuticals, weight

loss scams, phishing ploys, unwanted software and "trick-to-click" cons, globally last year. 

This marks a 49 percent increase over 2014. 

 For perspective, it would take an individual nearly 25 years to look at the 780 million ads Google removed last year for just one second each, according to Google.

 If the trend continues, Google's team of more than 1,000 staffers dedicated to killing spam will be even busier in 2016, and they could disable more than a billion junky ads.
