Google starting to suck at searches...

    Google has recently been causing problems with search results... When you click on a result that you know exists, (i.e. Digital Point) it re-directs you to eBay, or Yahoo, or MSN, or another SE-Sponsored Site like an advertisment...

    I don't know about you, but now I can never get a search result...

    All they give me are adverts and SE jumping...

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    No I click exactly where I've been clicking since the birth of Google. I'll show you a screen shot or something...

    It happens non-stop now.

    BTW do you know of any programs that record whats on screen? If so, I'll put up a video of what happens...

    Sound like your browser got hijack...run a virus scan for trojan or get a anti-spyware (google offer one as part of Google SOftware package which is pretty good)

    I did those and nothing came up. I installed spybot, ran it, and a few thngs IE-related came up... fixed those, and I think that did it.

    I did a search, and it goes back to the way it should be.

    Thanks :) apparently it isn't google, just someone messin with me.

    Mods can close this now since it seems to not be google and a support issue....
