Google?
 
I have been having problem with pulling up Google. I have done everything, down to rebuilding my damn C drive. I got done and it worked now it doesnt again. I went to http://validator.w3.org/ to see if they had a problem. I put in Google.com and it defaults to www.google.co.js for me anyway. I just did it now, and Google did come back but with 50 errors. Does Alexa toolbar spyware? A while back I read about this and its been about 2 months and I forgot. Forgot until I installed it. I Uninstalled it and its been a mess I ran my spy-ware is really didnt help. I then upgraded to IE7B3. That worked, well except for the fact that now I can pull up yahoo but searching takes so long it almost times out. The one that gets me is it wont pull up Google. At all Google doesnt exist. Has anyone had this happen or know what I can do. It's a little hard to work with no Google. SEO is just a little hard with no SE.

Google?
 
I am now using IE6 again, all other sites but traffic.com work. Traffic.com does what G does......

Google automatically redirects you to the site pertaining to the country it thinks you are in, taking it's info from your IP. You can set it to send you to another country and it holds that info in a cookie. So there are three probable causes:

1. Your ISP is using a foreign IP address.
2. Some other cookie on your machine is either deliberately or accidentally confusing Google into thinking it is their cookie.
3. Are you using any 'anonymous' type software to hide your tracks that may be confusing Google?

The best answer I can think of is go to Google (whichever site it sends you to) and set your preferences for the US site (or whichever one you want) and hopefully the genuine Google cookie will override everything else.

Sure sounds like it, or virus.
