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?

Do dis. Go to Yahoo.com, and search. xD.

You're not a favorite like we are. xD

Anyways, try it on Firefox... there's no harm in downloading it if you don't already have it... I run Firefox and Chrome, Chrome FTW though...

It's hella fast and a whole lot easier and better to use.

@Defy... Virus scan chrome's folder?...
#25
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.
