That may be what is happening on your google searches - the individual websites are optimized to pick up information such as your name, and get a high number of google hits. Many of these websites have advertising, and may get paid based on the # of hits, so they may be reluctant to change. If the information is false, however, can't you threaten to sue them?

Another option would be to generate a website of your own, with a lot of different pages on it, and optimize those pages so they come up first on a google of your name. then, the offending website you talk about wouldnt show up as first, but it would be down the page, or on the second page of a search. Thing is, it takes awhile to get into google, and especially to come up on the first page, and often times it costs money - you have to pay google. I always had good luck getting optimized with the Yahoo search engine, but not with google. You might want to contact someone in the computer club - there are probably some computer junkies that might have a lot of expertise at this.

Good luck.
