It sounds like a cookie problem, actually.. but I wouldn't know what to remove. But anything going whacko in IE probably means cookies.

Could be cookies too but in that case you would want to go to tools and then Internet options then Delete cookies and temp files.. Unless your running IE5 ect then you would have to click show files and delete them manually

Well, I deleted my cookies and this time when I went to google, it took me to this page:

I have Windows XP Professional by the way.

Thanks for the help so far by the way.

Hmm.. If it's redirecting you to other things. It's probably spy ware or something like that. Try running adaware.

Reinstall your browser from the manufacturer cd. If it still doesn't work I would do a backup and then reformat and start from scratch. Or try opera the browser.

Excuse me. I did not install any crap on my computer thank you very much.

And, I did what the site said to do and there were no listings for google.com in my hosts file. And may I remind everyone that it doesn't happen only with google, but with just about every search engine. Thanks for the suggestion though Ranzid.

I think I will try reinstalling IE next.
