Weird Crap with Google

Post by Fierfek »

This just started happening today - I type something into google, and half of them time it takes me to some webbar site and then nationofsearch.com. Took a quick look to see if anyone else has had this problem (googled it :P), and a couple other people have had this happen in the past few days as well as me.

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?

You should run a virus scan. I've had a virus before that just redirected me every time I tried to go to a search engine.

Get spybot search and destroy or adware both will remove your redirect worm. I've seen thousands of users get that virusworm and It's installed as a JavaScript popup on tons of sites.

Also go into LAN settings in your browser options and set from port to auto detect.
