Linda, I just checked on a search on Google I made the other day and everything was fine.

The GW Computer Forum can be very helpful. They keep up on all the gliches and viruses. They have helped me on several occasions.

Sure sounds like a virus or something to me. Run a virus scan and see what happens.

I can't believe I am venturing to say anything in this area, but: I think it can also be a hidden "script" on the web page.
There is an add-on called "NoScript" that blocks them. But I stopped using it because I had to intervene on almost every page.

Linda,

I know nothing, zip, nada about computers DH takes care of it all. I do know I donÂt like Google by its self. I use dogpile.com itÂs a combination of Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask and I usual can find anything I want pretty quickly.

Give it a try.

Thanks. I tried dogpile and got the same thing. I guess I'll have to call the computer people and let them know that whatever they did made my problem worse!

Linda-
I'm running into the same thing on my computer. I thought I had pretty good protection on my computer and I somehow got this thing. I noodled around and found lots of recent talk about hiss exact problem. Gurus seemed to keep recommending the anti-malware I have linked below. I downloaded the free version, seemed to clear up most of the problem. I still have the problem...but only on the very first item in the list of whatever I've Googled. If I choose any other hit other than the first, I can get right to it. If I really want to choose the first hit, I have to select it, hit go back, select it again, and go back, until I get it. Sometimes I can get to the site after the second or third try.

I've got my computer guy working on it again now. [He thinks it happened as the result of clicking on an ad that came up on a website where malware was scripted onto what appeared to be a legitimate ad. Huh? Oh well...I don't remember clicking...but the kids might have. :( !!] If I find out anything else, I'll let you know! He's really good and was stumped by this! He's like a dog with a bone...he'll figure it out! Good luck! Hope this helped!

When it happened to me ( a few months ago ) my tech said he found a Root Kit Virus ( Win31/Alureon.H )... He cleaned up the virus, installed Malwarebytes, as well as Microsoft Security Essentials ( at my request ) and updated Internet Explorer to version 8... Two days later, when I ran another scan, Microsoft Security Essentials found a disabled file for the virus, in the Quarantine folder for Malwarebytes, and showed me where it was and told me to delete it.
