What the hell has happened to Google?

[LiberalFighter]

Monday nite it started getting weird. When doing a search instead of clicking to go to the next page it appears to attempt loading the next page on the same page when I reach the end of the previous page. It is very disturbing!

I am also receiving a lot of alerts that I am searching too fast and now have to enter the damn captcha to continue.

If this is not a fluke I will have to discontinue using Google.

1. Either you're infected with malware, or your ISP is hijacking your searches. nt

2. The capcha indicates your ISP is hijacking your searches.

I had a similar problem a few years ago, time-warner hijacked google searches to a time-warner proxy, google saw all these queries from the proxy and thought it was a single user doing a denial of service attack.

3. Thanks

I did a search on a computer across town and it is fine there.

4. Try this

it will check your dns servers and a bunch of other things:

They have versions for computers and smartphones, so you can see if you get the same results on your computer and smartphone.

This is what's probably happening to you:

DNS lookups for popular domains

For example, some ISPs will impersonate www.google.com, resolving it to the address of a local proxy instead of a Google server. There also exists malware which changes victims' DNS settings to employ malicious resolvers. One strand of such malware will cause windowsupdate.microsoft.com to resolve to a Google IP address, or ad.doubleclick.net to resolve anomalously. If our tests indicate such problems, you should update your antivirus software and remove any manual DNS settings on your computer or your NAT.

If it's your ISP doing it, they usually have a way to opt-out.
Either give them a call, or google for "dns redirection opt-out" and your ISP name.

If it's not your ISP, the DNS settings on your router may have been hacked, so check those.

5. It is a Google stupid feature called infinite scroll

I'm not happy with it.

6. That article is 4 years old, doesn't happen on other computers, and doesn't explain the capcha.

That article describes a test 4 years ago which apparently was abandoned.

I've never encountered that, and I didn't see any other articles about it.

So I'm not convinced it's actually google doing that.

Especially since it keeps forcing you to fill out a capcha.

More likely you've been hacked or your isp is fucking with you.

What isp are you using?
