annoying google

[Dean Lofthouse]

Is anyone else having the annoying problem of putting something into google, pressing search, then when the results come up and you click one it takes you to a totally different web address 3 or 4 times like

 

I searched for Landrover uk, I click on landover uk web site address and it takes me to "Bing" then "Search.pro" etc etc

[Nick Waring]

nope, sounds like you got a virus.

No probs here but your pc could have a virus that its messing about with the web browser. Although that usually takes you too a dodgy site.

I think that the lavasoft and spybot packages are PC only. Mac's don't need protection since clearly they are God (harrumph)...

 

If you want to do a check in case something made it through your normal protection, try the Trend Micro Housecall service, which runs a range of tests from a website:

 

Trend Micro HouseCall - Free Online Virus and Spyware Scan - Trend Micro UK

 

Also, 2 packages which scan for software which tries to hijack your system or collec information about you. Both of these offer free options:

 

Lavasoft Adaware

Ad-Aware by Lavasoft - Antivirus software, free spyware removal, firewall

 

and

 

Spybot Search and Destroy

The home of Spybot-S&D!
