Google = Porn?
As I vanished today in attempt to help my brother move I left my computer on for my nephew to play on it. I come back to see that google.com is now replaced by tube8. I'm not exactly sure whats wrong with it, it seems to be a redirection I've also checked the page options and it still says google.com.
P.s. A system restore is not working, I'm using chrome, and I'm also on xp.
Also all url searches lead into Tube8.
If system restore isnt working then maybe theres an option or something edited in the browser?
It said you checked page options....there are always other options. Just throwing stuff out there.
Do a hard reset of your modem. It is a fun little hack. Does your nephew watch Hak5?
Uninstall and reinstall browser?
I remember i had a virus or something forgot that when i clicked any link it will send me somewhere else.
For a second there I thought it was about me.
Lol.
I knew I should of posted this in UG.
Re-install your browser, I had the same problem earlier.
-waits for GC before reinstall.
If it is not the router then you have a hijacker. Run AVG or any anti virus and it should find it. If you want to test it that is it without waiting for a scan then reboot in safe mode with networking and if it does not redirect to porn then that confirms that is from a malicious program.
Yeah, if AVG doesn't get the shit, you're screwed... AVG FTW...
Want me to try and fix? Hit me up on msn.
