Last monday for some reason every time I would go to Google, MSN or Yahoo to do a search I was brought up results. However when you click on these results they go to adsense / ad sites encouraging you to click.

After looking in my status bar over the links I noticed that went to something called Go.Google I highly doubt this is a google service but it did seem a tad fishy. Basically I could not look up any information on how to remove it either because the results are brought up.

However if I knew a direct website url I could go to any website I wanted. I ended up going onto another PC and searching for go.google malware removal and I found a site which had the basic instructions on how to remove it.

Here is how:

Awnser to the problem guys…. worked for me….

1.Go to http://www.download.com in the search bar.

2.Search for Malwarebytes.

3.Download the version there (try using firefox because the download manager on IE7 gets infected)

4.When downloaded, install and check for updates.

5.Run the scan which will last approx 30 mins.

6.When you finish this, remove it all and you might be asked to restart your computer.

It worked for me and i had this virus for about a month! Let me know it it helps, thanks guys.
Feel free to ask any quesions.

Some guy named Max posted in and I am grateful he did, I wanted to let you all know about this because I believe some of you may have it and you don’t even know! The real bummer about this malware is nobody seems to know how someone gets it.

I don’t go to any bad sites or anything on my pc’s so I am very interested to know how it first of all got past my full paid version of Eset Smart Security and secondly how-come the only way to remove it is with a specific malware removal tool as the instructions above state.

Any ideas guys?

Last week google did some minor PR updates to sites around the net, nothing major and I highly doubt it was a full update as it happened quite early compared to what google normally does.

I was just thinking, what if google does these small updates in order to catch new link sellers? I mean what if a site did not have links coming out of it, then after they got say a pr4 they started selling links? Wouldn’t google be able to easily see this and then hit them with a penalty in the real update?

Makes sense to me, what about you, what do you think?

I recently installed the new beta 5 google toolbar, after using it for about 30 minutes I re-installed version 4.0! Why? A few reasons, firstly the internet seems to load slower with it which tells me google is trying to track everything I do and it sends the reports to them. While I don’t care if google knows what I do I just don’t like slow internet.

Additionally the page rank display was cut to about half the normal size. Although page rank is not a good factor to go by advertisers do still take it into account so I like to see it and I don’t appreciate google making it a tiny little bar that’s for sure!

Lastly they have made things to complicated by offering the user tons of options. Why not just have the most basic features like 4.0 toolbar had?

So yeah I do not suggest you get the new toolbar!

PS: If you did already install the Beta 5 Bar and want to go back to version 4 you can get it off www.oldapps.com because google does not offer a place to download it that I know of.

So what do you think? How do you feel about the new google toolbar?
