    Weird one folks.

    Have three laptops connected to web. UPC.

    Today all three began defaulting to Google Germany.

    An IP lookup says the IP Im on belongs to UPC Ireland.

    I have no idea why this is happening. Anyone else getting this ? Its not a virus as two of the three PC's are running Linux. The third Windows 7..

    If I go to http://www.google.com/ncr Its fine. But when I hit home. I see it go to google.com then it quickly switches to google.at

    Hi Saganist, could be a couple of things, are you using a proxy or Tor by any chance? Or just power cycle the UPC modem and get a new IP from them, it could be the IP you have from the DHCP pool is incorrectly indexed in googles location cache (but this is unlikely)

    It could also be a trojan passing your data to a third party before it passes it on has anything changed lately?
