Is it Me? Or Does Google Appear to be "Hacked"?

[05 Roush]

I'm not sure if everyone else is experiencing this but it appears search results are pointing to some really weird sites.

Here's an example. Type in CZECHOSLOVAKIA and see what you get. It's like the redirectors are all jacked up, like some marketing companies copied the entire Wikipedia site and are using it to push you to another location.

Its been working fine for me, just used it 5 mins ago.

are you clicking the "i'm feeling lucky" button instead of the "search" button? the "i'm feeling lucky" button takes you to the first link in your search results, which would be wikipedia if you typed in "CZECHOSLOVAKIA".

 

[nckissfan]

it worked fine for me, with three different searches, all using "i'm feeling lucky"

 

[05 Roush]

Great. Now it looks like the "I'm feeling lucky" is broken.

Look at the actual links. They take you to some marketing garbage. Here's what I'm getting on the regular search:

Works fine for me. All that gay porn you watched must have given your computer the AIDS.

:lol:

 

[Wintermute]

wiki is frequently in the top 3 for a lot of subjects anyway.

Are you trying to find nudies of Martina Navratilova ?

 

[Fuzzy Logic]

it's you. you got a bug from surfing for pr0n. happened to me a long time ago. what it is is the bug brings up miscellaneous sites when you use a search engine. either run a virus scan or format your p.c. if the bug is buried too deep.

maybe next time, you'll think twice before looking for gay pr0n. :loser:

Thanks!

It is me. I am removing various "things". And no, I'm not browsing porn.
