Hi all, since google got hit yesterday with that virus thing I cannot get the google homepage to work. Not www.google.com or www.google.co.uk. It is very strange. Might I have caught a virus somehow? I m running a full avg scan and then trendmicro housecall.

I do have my own google homepage, that I cannot reach either.


Ideas?

God this reminds me of work, Have you cleared your cache and history. Ran Ad/spy removal tools? Checked your proxy settings. What is the error message? Is it only Google?

I would love some assistance Madman, its driving me potty this is.

I launch firefox or ie7 and type in www.google.com or www.google.co.uk and I get page not found. Its strange because on my media centre under the telly I cannot get there either. All other web pages work apart from google. I cannot ping google from command prompt.

Hmmm, I must check my roota, meybe I have had a visitor.

Could be a DNS thing with your ISP. Thats a long shot though.
