Google Redirect. Yet Again.

[KimJunsu]

Hey guys,

I'm having the Google redirect trouble too. I think it's the only thing that's wrong (with maybe a slower internet speed)

Any help would be appreciated!

XP, Vista, W7

Are you using a router?

Please reset your router.

There should be a reset button on the router somewhere, check you owners manual.

If found please reset the router, if you can't find one, just unplug the power to it for a minute or two, then power it back up.

You may have to reboot the computer to get back online.

Hey there,

I'm really sorry for causing all this trouble for you, but my laptop was apparently infected with something serious so I set it up from scratch again and got rid of all the viruses, including the google redirect. But thank you so much for all your help!

[MrCharlie]

OK, sometimes that's the best option.

Thanks for letting me know, MrC
