Manage updates with the Download App
My Google chrome search suddenly stopped working properly.
Every time I type in a search term, the page bounces me out, and in the search bar, there's a bunch of gibberish!
I cleared my browsing history.
I noticed that even if I type in "www.", it mostly just goes bland with the above, showing in the bar, although SOME terms will allow me to search, with no rhyme or reason!
What happened? What did I do?
It was fine, when I turned it off this afternoon, but when I turned my Laptop back on, this evening, this started happening.
The only "big" change I've made, is I actually "signed in" to my Google acct., yesterday, so my new Samsung Galaxy S II LTE phone was synced, as per Samsung's instructions.
I find now, that as soon as I turn on my Laptop, I'm automatically signed in, all the time.
I'm not sure that is a smart thing to do, because of hackers, and security concerns.
I have a HP G7 1270 Laptop, with Windows 7.
PLEASE HELP?
Thanks Everyone!

All I can offer is a suggestion and the usuals.
Suggestion, sign out of Google on the phone then unsync the phone.
The usuals;
1] If you click this link, http://www.google.com do you get Google's landing page? If so, can you use that to search? If not tell us details.
2] If 1 above fails, return to that landing page and see if you can sign out. If not, sign in then sign out.
3] Use another browser to sign out.
4] again if 1 above fails, start scanning for malware. Use your anti-virus scanner, then download, install, update and run separate scans with both the free versions of Malwarebytes Anti-malware and SUPERAntiSpyware.
See if any of those help.
Mark
