Hey all...
Is anyone else having trouble accessing search engines? Starting yesterday morning I couldn't get any results from Google or Yahoo, etc.
I can't "Google" the topic to get info (natch!) so I figured my fellow DPCers would know what's going on.

Nope, no problems here, either from the www.google.co.uk or www.google.com

Strange! I'm in Canada (southern Ontario). I wonder if there's a regional interruption.
Any other Canadians out there having similar issues? |

Google was hanging up on me big-time this morning. Seems fine now, but that was the first time I have ever seen Google not perform. So I suspect something was happening, based on what you have said.

I googled the topic and found no current info, just info on slowdowns months or years ago...

| This sorta thing happened to me 2 weeks ago.. All of a sudden, yahoo wasn't coming up, but I still could get onto DPChallenge using my browser history.. I realized that the ONLY website I could get onto was this one.. It lasted about 6 hours or so and then just corrected itself. I still have no idea why that happened. |

| Bumping...because it's still happening...or not happening, to be more precise. |

No problem here, and Google.ca is my homepage. I find pingplotter handy for seeing where problems are.

| I'm east of you in western Quebec and have no problems accessing googl or any other search engine. Must be local, have you contacted you ISP? |

Turns out it was the Vundo virus. It's a nasty, devious little trojan that infects web browsers.
Norton didn't catch it. On the advice of a client, I installed AVG.
That cleared it right up. |

Yikes, I'm glad you caught it.
I've noticed a big increase in spyware on my PC lately. I guess I'm picking it up just by websurfing, though I wonder if there could be something hidden on my PC that reinstalls it after I delete it. |
