Immediately after leaving Zack and Tads website My Google search engine popped up in Chinese or some other such hen scratching.

It even popped up when I went to sign in here.

Someone has figured a way to infect that website is my best guess. I keep doing everything I can to eliminate the foreign website but it has a way of continuously popping up.
Hopefully Zack can figure out if his site has been infected and rid out the pesky thing.

Not likely. We've had no other reports with at least four browsers and two operating systems, and online scanning tools show the site as clear. Google will pull the site from rankings if it's infected.

Sounds like a browser hijacker. Good luck getting rid of it. There's a special place in hell for evil coders...

Thanks for the reassurance Zack, I’ll bet it was some kind of sleeper virus that waited to jump after it was installed. That way I’d have trouble figuring out the correct source.

Since upgrading to the new Fire Fox version 17 I am no longer seeing the Chinese hijacked Google search engine. Zack was able to steer me inward for a solution instead of me looking outward for someone to blame.
Thanks Zack!

Good observation Bill.

Part of the nastiness of viruses is that they undermine our confidence in what we can trust or distrust.

Thanks for the help Zack!!
