Google?

[garinda]

Has Google been hijacked, or is it down?

Can you access it?

From my bookmarks I get taken to a Talk Talk page, when l click Google.

I can only get Google maps, and from there, when I click on Google Web, get taken back to a Talk Talk page.

Thanks hun.

It must be me.

I can't get onto Google no matter what I try, but everything else is fine.

Odd.

 

[garinda]

Could someone put a link to Google here, and I'll try that?

Thanks.

 

[K.S.H]

I would put a link on here if I knew how to do it.......I have done other links before but not to google.

Google

Thanks.

Didn't work.

Takes me to a Talk Talk page.

(Which might be my internet provider. I signed up with Tiscalli.)

I can get Google maps, but from there nothing else.

Very weird.

Thanks for your help.

I'll just cross my fingers it goes right soon.

was on the radio earlier that Google , Wikipedia and You-Tube had all been hit at the same time in the last 24 hours but 'normal service' had been resumed

BBC News - Google acts to fix YouTube flaw exploited by hackers

If you type "www.google.co.uk" in your browser it should get you the google page.

next go to tools and internet options, it should show your home page and ask if you want to use current which will now be Google, Click current and down at the bottom click apply.
You should now get google up when you open a browser.
That's how I do it when all goes pear shaped.

All except me.

It's like losing a limb!

I need it.

I'm on Firefox, and Tiscalli, which might now be Talk Talk. l'm not sure.

How can I spell without Google's 'do you mean?

Sounds to me like a DNS problem with Talk Talk Gary. Try this link Google and see if it works

Arrgghh!

It does bring up the homepage from Neil's link, which I couldn't get before, but when I click on Images or Maps etc, it goes back to Talk Talk page.

Same with any search using the page that Neil linked.

 

[Neil]

It is a Talk Talk problem unfortuneately but there is a fix by using another DNS server but you might not want to do it if you are not that techy.

I might be around you way tomorrow and could make the changes for you if you like

 

[Neil]

This is how to make the changes Gary

Rebooted, gave it a kick, and it's happily fine now.



Thanks all, for help and advice.
