Think homepage is hijacked to google.de

bimfi · 12-05-2007, 11:02 AM

I have been running Google as my home page for years. But, today when I clicked on my browser, google turned German. The webpage is: "http://www.google.de". When I click the home button, it still goes back to the German site. The only way for me to get to google.com is to click on the "google.com in English" button. But, when I close and open the browser, it goes back to "google.de". It is not only on this computer, but my other one as well. I am using Mozilla Firefox, but when I switch to IE, it does the same thing. Anyone know how to fix this problem, short of running "restore"?

The same thing started happening to me several weeks ago. Sorry I can't be more specific. I use IE 7.

Here is what i have my home page set to:

Google
Patient Buyers Who Are Qualified Seem To Be Smiling | Submit Articles | Thought Search

This opens 2 pages on my browser. Not sure why it does it. Any help would be appriciated. If you want any info from me I am happy to give it.
