What happened to google search?

Asked by Jak (3605points) April 29th, 2016

I keep getting sent to a site called “my way” with lots of dead end pointless links and never any actual infomation. Google seems to have bailed on me. Was there an upgrade and I missed it? What happened to Google?

It’s working normally for me, on both IE and Chrome. Maybe you got a virus?

I believe your browser may have been hijacked. What operating system are you using?

Make sure you are actually on google. My sister got hit with something similar where it looked like google but actually wasn’t. I traced it back to some malware from uTorrent that hijacked her default search engine.

Here is a step-by-step guide. Don’t download the software in “automatic fixit”. Go straight to the manual removal process.

Yeah. Sounds like malware taking over your browser.

Get a free program called Malware Bytes and run a search.
