Google UK Virus?

asim18 · 14 Feb 2012 at 23:56

Something is definitely up with Google. It wasn't letting me into two of my google accounts last night. Had to change the passwords using an SMS recovery code. Just tried to sign in again right now and it said my password is incorrect again. Had to recover it again.

Weird thing is there's no IP address other than my own in the access logs.

I've disconnected my server and disabled any port forwarding until I can find out exactly what's going on.

Google it (if you can), plenty of other people are also having the problem.

Yup, updated definitions coming soon apparently.

I'm a Firefox user but I occasionally have to use IE for a work app and I had the same thing last night.

I prefer IE to FF. That said, FF has some handy Addons for web developing. IE works when I want it to work. FF seems to have this strange compulsion to try and update itself everytime I want to quickly use it. Irritates the hell out of me!

Microsoft recommends using bing to fix the problem ?

It's OK. I mocked OS/2 in the day as well.

Windows is fine. IE not so much...
