Anyone else getting this message? Is it hacked?

Just looked and it is fine as far as I see.

Are you sure you typed in google? I once typed gppgle without realizing and thought something was wrong with their site.

yeah, I'm sure because it's set as my homepage. What apparently is happening is that google's search item http addy is coming up in front of every address. Delete the extra addy and everything is fine.

I've also had this happen, TWB. Weirdness. What antivirus are you running? I'm assuming AVG.

Avast, I think, but it's happening on my mom's puter too and she has Norton.

i didn't have any anti-virus on my computer and it was still doing this. as a matter of fact, i was looking for a free version of AVG when it was happening lmao... :)

Seriously - on my computer it works just fine.

Mine too. Haven't had an issue. I use it constantly too.

i have seen it happen. Something may be hijacking you. I would go in and delete all cookies and clear the history and cache (if you don't already.)

If you're not running AdAware as well as Spybot S&D, I strongly suggest both!

Okay, I heard the story on radio AM 950. Apparently Google chalks the whole thing up to human error; one of their employees, whilst updating the list of dangerous sites, accidentally did something that made every site come up with that warning. The glitch only lasted for about an hour Saturday morning, but I just happened to search in that hour.

Still, good advice on the AdAware and Spybot stuff. I think I have some loaded on my puter. I will have Az_ double check it tomorrow.
