Note: if you use SpywareBlaster, Spybot and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install the protection they afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and select Enable all protection.

If that does not work.

Delete all the google entries in your hosts file.

For win xp, the file is under c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

Open the hosts file with notepad and remove all the google entries.

Then in Notepad go to File > SaveThe program worked (it ran to completion) however i dont think it did anything cause its still being redirected.You will need to edit the Hosts file manually.i went to the host file and found no google entries....
[EDIT]

theres only one ip listed and its my local host.When you get redirected is there an option that says Google in English? Click that if so and it should reset itself. Or go into your Google toolbar options (if you use the toolbar) and make sure it is set to English.

It could also be related to which country setting you have:

Open:
Control Panel/Regional and Language Options

or Run:
Start / Run intl.cpl

Double check the settings.its all writen in japanes, but i just clicked on all the links and one of them turned it to english, it still says "go to google japan" which it never did befor but my computers running fine so im guessing its not anything virus related?


i also checked regional settings there set to Canada.


[EDIT]

I just cleared my cookies and it resets it to JAPANESE google.

[/EDIT]I am really not sure what's going on. It's likely not virus related. Try posting in the Windows forum. Someone there might have seen this problem before and know how to fix it.ok ill try that,
thank you very much for all the help on getting rid of my computer problems.
man do i love this forum!
