Is anyone else having issues with google? - General

I have no idea why, but sometimes when i do image searches, it redirects me to weird websites that have nothing to do with my Search. What gives?

Scan your computer.

Google has been suckish recently... I hate change.

If you're using firefox: 1) Copy the domain name - just the name, no suffix (.com) 2) Go to about:config 3) Paste the domain in search 4) Right click every instance and choose Set to default.

No problems with google here.

You got some type of maleware, as did I awhile back. You can either try and remove it or change browsers.

It's being a bitch and won't answer my calls anymore.

Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc on your computer and open the hosts file in notepad. (Open as administrator if on Vista or Windows 7) Delete anything related to google there. If you don't see anything, scroll to the very bottom and do it.

I havent noticed anything

Scan your computer for viruses. I dont have any problems with google.

I liked old google, when it didn't lag my browser back to the 1980's because it loaded 100 pages of images at once.

This affects how the # browser and logon services behave in TCP/IP environments. To preload # the host name associated with #DOM entry, it is necessary to also add a # #PRE to the line. The <domain> is always preloaded although it will not # be shown when the name cache is viewed. # # Specifying "#INCLUDE <filename>" will force the RFC NetBIOS (NBT) # software to seek the specified <filename> and parse it as if it were # local. <filename> is generally a UNC-based name, allowing a # centralized lmhosts file to be maintained on a server. # It is ALWAYS necessary to provide a mapping for the IP address of the # server prior to the #INCLUDE. This mapping must use the #PRE directive. # In addtion the share "public" in the example below must be in the # LanManServer list of "NullSessionShares" in order for client machines to # be able to read the lmhosts file successfully. This key is under # \machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\nullsessionshares # in the registry. Simply add "public" to the list found there. # # The #BEGIN_ and #END_ALTERNATE keywords allow multiple #INCLUDE # statements to be grouped together.
