ok, everytime i try to go to google.com every time, instead of the site i get this the picture is at http://rob150680.tripod.com/google anyways what is the deal with that , how do i get google back.
also i can still go to www2.google.com , and like www.google.au etc but just the normal google is messed up. It sucks because i have the toolbar and can't use it.
uhh.. make go to tools and mess around with the settings to see if your google is redirected.
can you elaborate?Quote:

check your hosts file in system32\drivers\etc and look for that link's IP, it could be linked to google.com and the other google addresses.

never heard of a website screwing with some1's hosts file, but that does sound reasonable.
HiJack This (Freeware)
This is a GREAT program that can fix browser hi-jackings. You can use it to remove any modifications that were done to your IE. Extra buttons, plug-ins, unwanted toolbars, unwanted redirections. This program helped me out soo many times.

it's not the site, per say, a tiny little program can do that and/or software installtion who do touch that file can do that. Or even like the above post, played in registry.
for example, if u put the followings in ur HOSTS file:
207.218.251.60 www.google.com
216.239.37.100 www.klboard.ath.cx
everytime u type google.com, ul get this board and visa versa. :lol: I've played that little trick on my friends before. Also, I have it setup on the kids PCs to avoid bad sites too.
yay, thanks for the help this is what i did
all i did was go to my hosts file and put
216.239.37.100 google.com
from your example
how do you get IP's for websites by the way
isn't their a virus going around that hijacks your browser and prevents you from going to search engines?
i dont know but i just did windows update, and it said something about how there was a flaw that an attacker could change the websites you view
