For the last 2 days, 50% the times i use GOOGLE, instead of getting the site I requested, I get sent to another search engine.

Any suggestions on what is going on.

I think my brouser is getting hijacked???

Run the ususal spybot S&D, Hijack this and Ad-Aware (make sure they stay updated)

My friend had that issue too. Doing the above fixed it. Also dump Temp internet files.

I really don't think that you are hacked. I will recommend you using Ad-aware from [url]www.lavasoft.de[/url] . Otherwise just try another search site

I would say that Yahoo is probably the closest you will get to a search engine which is just like Google.

Please get Spybot S&D to clear out any spyware.
