Unusual results in Google

[Lysander]

Apologies for the dull topic, or if this is a repost.

I've noticed recently strange results in Google whereby the link in the results looks like it points to the intended website but actually points somewhere else. This happens with multiple websites.

For instance, typing Overclockers UK into Google gets loads of results saying they're the OCUK website, but none actually point there.

Here's an example.

Like I say, this may be a repost. If so, can someone explain why this happens?

Its just you.

You probably have a virus or something

what page of your results is that on? if it's first then you have a problem

Yes, it's the first page.

EDIT - I've just noticed that this only happens in Opera. Not in IE.

How did you get your browser buttons blue?

Check your hosts file, clean your pc.

It's blue by default in Firefox 3.

Yeah I'm thinking virus or spyware

Might be DNS hijacking malware... best do a full sweep.

Ignore.

Just did a full scan with Malwarebytes and Spybot. Both come up with nothing.

Format your hard drive and run over it with a lorry.

Hijackthis
Adaware
Rootkit revealer

Is it in IE? Get Google Chrome or something and try with that too to see if it's app-specific

 

[swinnie]

Have you checked your hosts file?

Weird, mine are blue. And I haven't installed any theme.
