The last we saw our hero,Google Boy, he was fighting to keep the prying eyes of the Department of Justice off its users search terms.

Now, our teen-aged caped crusader is settling lawsuits.

Just doesn’t seem right that our freedomi-fighting wunderkind faces off with the federales, but now is writing checks to keep advertisers from suing him for click fraud.

But take solace. Meet Yahoo Inc., another defendant in the suit Google Boy just settled. The company now says it will keep fighting. “We stand firmly by our proprietary click protection system, and look forward to vigorously defending our position on this matter.”
