I love Google.  It is changing the entire Internet for
the better.  The only problem is that their search engine is TOO
effective. 

If  webmasters, security professionals and even home computer
users aren't careful in securing their websites they could end up
posting more information than they bargained for. 

Here is an examples [ copy and paste the code in your browser ]:

http://www.google.ca/search?q=inurl:password+intitle:index-of&num=100&hl=en&lr=&output=search
Results 1 – 100 of about 4,030 for inurl:password intitle:index-of

If you look through the websites you will actually see usernames and passwords.

There are many groups on the Internet that find web site vulerabilites as a
hobby. 
They are called Google Dorks:

I got the HWCLOCK.EXE when I was testing my new Internet connection.  I noticed it when my Internet DSL connection started feeling like a  56K dialup. 

I removed it by going into Showing all files, going into Safe Mode and deleting the HWCLOCK.exe/W32.Hwbot-A Trojan.

This is a trojan that can actually steal your passwords and other personal data.  On my system is was attacking other system.

I've got more detail instructions on how to remove the HWCLOCK.exe at http://elamb.blogharbor.com/hacked/hwclock.htm
