I accidentely typed www.googe.com by mistake yesterday, and now I notice that EVERY SINGLE SEARCH LINK I click on google gets redirected to something "copy.book... or smartbiz" and I'm pretty n00b at computer stuff so I don't know how to get rid of it.
Can somebody help? How can I get rid of it? What programs do I use (preferably free ones)?
Is this Safari you're using? If so go to Safari > Preferences and select the "Security" tab. Click the "Show Cookies" button and search for cookies and remove them.
I've already erased all the cookies, twice! and it still shows up.
Now I can't even connect to google. It says that
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies."
And I noticed that ALL of the advertisment banners on any website are of some Vimax pills. UGHHHHH I need help! I know a lot of PC's have had this problems, and they fix it by looking at their logs. But I don't know how to do that, somebody, PLEASEEEEE
Actually... googe.com appear to be legit site. Are you sure that is the site you went to? I tried it and I'm not experiencing any problems. It's unusual for Firefox to be susceptible to having it's settings changed by a website.
Apparently I think it has something to do with my internet at home (wireless) because I was at work with my mac, and I could get on to google, oppose to my home internet, where I STILL can't use google.
I don't think it was from googe.com but somewhere else I guess.
Either way, how do you check web browser proxy settings?
If it is happening on one internet connection, but not another, it seems like the internet router you are using to get on the internet has its own proxy settings.
I have the same problem, I erase cookies and they reappear in 5 minutes. How do I fix it? My router is a Comcast Gateway Netgear. Do you think I need to change proxies, if so how d I do that?
