Google has been "Hacked" ( Archived) (32)

Dec 8, 2007 11:27 AM CST Google has been "Hacked"
Go to Google and type in a search word. When the list of sites comes up, click on the site you want, you will not be taken to the site, instead you will be re-directed to some other search site or clearing house type site.

This has been happening to me for days now. The only way I can get to the site I want is to copy/paste the address into my address bar.

Am I doing something wrong or does Google have a problem?

Either that, or you have Malware on your system. Run a "Spybot - Search & Destroy" check on it.

Yes, vista is blocking many sides from google. It´s terrible.
If you google in XP you get more then 1/3 more sides as in vista.

Yes, i agree...unless you have an integrated system.Instal

"Spybot" and the following:
"Adaware"

or "spywareblaster"

I use the latter now an F-Secure.....that will clean it up.

Email me if you want addresses to get the free programmes

cheers
