Hmm - while I agree that the reinstall advice is completely incorrect, 
the Greasemonky comment is potentially relevant - with some javascript 
foo you can alter the ordering of the returned search items from any 
search engine (in fact there isn't much you can't do to a web page...).

Now I suspect that you are *not* a javascript programmer, so (as Steve 
implied) this is (or was) unlikely to be your problem.

I see from another post that the issue was those annoying sponsored 
links - yeah, complain to Google about them. A few years ago I 
encountered a similar sort of thing - a search on DB2 brought up 
"Convert from DB2 to Oracle" as a sponsored link at the top of the 1st 
page. I complained about it, and while Google weasel-worded me about how 
they had done no evil - the link disappeared quite soon aftrerwards.
