seems okay for now. Still keeping my fingers crossed. Does this just happen or could this be a sign of spyware or something?

Why are you based? If you clear your cache, history etc and type in www.google.com do you get redirected again?

If you are in Argentina then is normal.

Here in Thailand once you clear the cache etc then it takes us to google Thailand and we then have to click on a link to go to Google main.

I am based in USA; I guess I assume everyone is. Not a good asumption. I will try to clear cache, although I am not having hte problem at this pt. and have used google several times in last couple of days.

Can you tell me if this is a normal sort of glitch or some sort of spyware or something I should be concerned about?

Dammit this is frustrating. I downloaded a Google toolbar recently and I think this is when the problem began. I had a google window in the menu bar before this. WHen I downloaded google toolbar I didnt think anything changed but I guess it has...

How do I get rid of this freakin' google window in menu? windows xp system...aaaaah!
