Google is being probed by the European Commission for antitrust behavior. EC officials confirmed Wednesday that the Internet search giant is under investigation after a trio of companies filed complaints against Google.

The complaints came from Foundem, a price-comparison web site; French legal search site Ejustice; and Ciao from Bing, a search site operated by Microsoft.

Google handles about two-thirds of all Internet searches. It owns the largest online video site, YouTube, which is more than 10 times as popular as its nearest competitor. And last year, Google sold nearly $22 billion in advertising, more than any other media company in the world.

With all those riches and more, how is Google a relatively small company, one that is vulnerable to competition and whose luck could turn any day?

Dana Wagner is happy to explain.
