Google.hacked? - Could you pass the virus?

EJay
Hey all, I hear that google got infected from a virus. Anyone that was trying to look up information on google, it would just take you back to the homepage. One of the first things you have to notice, to make sure you dont get infected. I got infected heavily. Appearently when it put me back on the google homepage, it downloaded a virus onto my computer and now it's in the shop.

google search works like a charm for me... nothing to indicate any hacking or virus. what country are you by the way? maybe it's country specific (google redirects a searcher to the country domain of google searchers). and have you identified the virus you have already?

ejay, i think you were the only one with a virus. I don't think google was infected. you probably got a browser hijack.

You say you've heard about it. I'd like to know if from where you heard is a reliable source? Because a news like that would spread like a wood fire. I've been trying to search about this article but is nowhere to find. If you have any information on this virus/worm or find a patch to it, please post. Thanks.

It was not about a virus infecting google.. It was a about a virus affecting client machines which accessed the Google search to get more and more email addresses. The virus seemed to have executing a lot of queries which eventually affected the server. Then Google had temporarily stopped providing cached results etc.. so as to protect against it.

so its not just someones imagination... well the virus it self isnt from google and thats a big relief, but its interesting how the virus taps into google, wait does this mean it spreads through email that it searches or gmail??

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.


I always get this message when I try to check the no. of pages that google has indexed from my sites.

    link - your computer will be infected. Beware - the epidemic only started a few days ago. If you
    get that message from someone you know - ask a person, if they really sent it (a bot would not have
