Title: Has anyone noticed this on Google
Post by: smokeasaurus on January 13, 2013, 09:56:11 AM

Everytime I search on Google for something the first thing I get is an advertisement page that has nothing to do with the site I am trying to visit. I gotta back out and try again and then I get the page I want.

Anyone else notice this or do I got some weird virus??

Anything I have searched today came up with what I was searching for right away. Sounds like you have a hijacker virus of some sort. They will hijack you to the sites that they make money off of.

Yep...'tis a bug...not one that will kill your hard drive - but one that may make you shoot your computer. Hope you get it out of there while maintaining your sanity. I know the frustration.... >:(
