    If you google 'Epson Support' the first dozen sites that come up are all official Epson sites.

    You must have remarkable Googling skills.
    As does Bing...........Those looking at adverts and not search results on any site will probably be cheated..

  • I suggest you download MalwareBytes (it is free) and run that to clear any malware that has been put on your machine. Then get a copy of Kaspersky Internet Security free trial (or any other good IS package!) and run that.
  • If the user has windows 8.1 and uses IE and it defaults to bing then he would see 4 dubious entries before epson . co . uk

    Why don't people use another browser and adblock (or some such).

    You can use adblock in IE if that's their preferred browser.
