hey i was wondering if anyone could help with a problem on all my internet browsers...

Whenever I search for anything on google it leads me to a
http://www.google.com/google.en.php

page with random results generally including porn and crap

I've done as many scans as i can with my adware and spyware detector and remover (adaware and i've even tried norton anti virus and tune up scans to find the problem) but whatever i search for i get led to that page

So can anyone please help me? I really need to get rid of this asap as my rents use the comp and if they go on google im gonna be in the ****

thanks...

Search as in go to google.com or seach as in use the search in Internet Exporer?

searching using google.com or .co.uk

this happens on firefox, ie, opera on my comp

Do any other of the features in google work?

Type in 1+1 on the search box


are you using google toolbar?

no when i try to go on any other options i get
http://www.google.com/#
and it doesnt load the page

...okay i did and still got more porn and junk results

oh and if i try to use any other features after searching i get
http://www.google.com/google.en.php#

Edit- no im not using it, the only search bar on my comp is on ie and thats the msn searchbar

Download the Hoster from: http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip. UnZip
the file and press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.

done the first, when i finish downloading the second thing (the hoster) and try to open it says the folder is invalid or corrupt :\

Edit- im asking for a simpler solution, but thanks to both of you

My guess is something's made an entry to your HOSTS file, redirecting google.com.
The HOSTS file I think is in C:\Windows (maybe System or System32?). Edit that to remove any lines with google.com.

You may also want to use an anti-spyware prog and AV prog to clean the system too

Thanks
