3. I had this problem last night.
Couldn't connect to Google, couldn't even use the Google toolbar. Oddly enough, same thing trying to use the Yahoo search engine. My computer-wizard boyfriend messed with a bunch of settings, tried many different things, finally realized it was some sort of virus. I can't remember the specifics, but it's something that you can get from a few infective web servers that affects how your browser searches for addresses on the Internet (can't recall the specifics). We ran this special TrojanQHost thing (don't ask me, I have no idea what exactly it is) and then went to Microsoft Update and downloaded the "critical" stuff, and it seems to be back to normal now.

Hope this helps! :-)

5. I recently removed something similar from a friend's PC
Attempting to connect to google brought up a screen that said the page was being redirected. A Norton scan found nothing. I tracked down the executable by doing a search on files modified since the time the problem started. This was about two weeks ago so this virus must be making the rounds.

4. You might have this virus

Other than that, try Ad-Aware or Spybot Search&Destroy
