What the hell is wrong with google? It won't let me search anything. It just tells me that every site I want to go to will harm my computer.

Works fine here.

Try going into your google account preferences (to the right of the search box), change the safe search setting to something other than where you have it now, save it, then go back in to preferences and set it back to where you want it and save again.

If that doesn't work, throw your computer out a window and buy a new one.

Musta been...working fine now.....I guess you only get so many searches for East European Midget/Donkey porn.

It would heve been very ironic had you searched google for google and it warned about the site.

Our desktop does that too. It's on page one of every search you do, and the addresses don't match the descriptions. Only seems to be affecting page one, though, and when I sign into my iGoogle account, searches run just fine. Where is the problem coming from? If it's a virus/spam/adware/whatever, our pccillin sure didn't catch it. So..it's a google problem and not something hijacking google?

At 9:00 Eastern Time Zone this morning Google signed a contract with CWA Union 1070. They may be on a coffee break for next three hours.

Tammy,

When your computer takes you somewhere else, rather than the link you wanted from your search, it means you have a 'highjacker virus'. It is a type of adware that computers pick up. You can run Webroot Spyware and get rid of most of it. You may have to run it a couple times as most of those tend to get into computers by layers.

After that, make sure your virus protection is up to date. It will help greatly.

knockmdwn - Going to give it a try - thanks for the info! We're running pc cillin (royal PITA, looking for something else) on the desktop, and we keep it up to date, but I guess this one got through.

Thanks!
