Google and Gmail acting weird?


AeonFulx

Recommended Posts

Well some of you might already know that I had reformatted my computer recently.

But I have problem with Google and Gmail in any other browser, Firefox 3.6.3 and IE 8

I will talk about Google first, I find that whatever I search for, unrelated things keep appearing. A good example would be typing Deviant Art and result was crap... Usually they will give deviant art official site at the first link right?

Ideally:

googlewj.th.jpg

Crap:

This is just plain weird. I also unable to access to gmail due to website's security certificate. Even if I clicked Continue to this website (not recommended). it will give me 404 not found. I don't think it's my ISP as my desktop totally have no issue with gmail or google.

Can't be any malware right? I tried scanning with Kaspersky. Nothing was detected. Some solution I found was check your date, time or Windows Update and I did all of that and it doesn't help. I was wondering an experts here can solve it? FYI: I'm using XP Pro.

Most likely, it is malware. Use Malwarebytes Anti Malware and do a full scan of your PC.

Also, don't forget to post a hijackthis log.

IF you are using Tor or a VPN.. any sort of proxy.. or Onion Router.. or even if your traffic is being redirected through something else by your ISP or anything.. Your results that return CAN in some cases return for the country/language/location of the originating connection.. SRWare Iron is natively written in German.. sometimes when I search.. I get results specific to that location or for someone who read/speaks German natively...

With Tor this can happen as well.. I can't remember what is was that I changed but it isn't so any longer...

As far as malware doing this I don't know.. but it would seem quite odd.. make sure you clear your cache...This could just be something temporary..

SpyBot, HostsMan, and HiJack This! would be a good idea in this case I think.. however..

EDIT: If you suspect ARP, DNS Cache Poisoning.. ( which could be as much as your ISP as you ).. You could switch over to another DNS Server and see if its not the problem or even reset/restart your router.

If you create a thread about your problem with specifics, with accompanying logs.. There are several people here who can help you with your logs, but usually they are straight-forward and MOST issues are quite apparent..

No worries.

The security certificate of Gmail had expired recently and the authentication was being refused by Firefox and The Bat! Professional as expected. ^_^

The issue was a brief one and has been swiftly rectified by Gmail. B)

HOSTS file. Have you ever touched C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Hosts ???

This is the main reason of your problem. Someone/something has played with your hosts file.

Backup the hosts file. Open it in notepad and remove all the google and yahoo entries. ONLY google and yahoo entries. Save it and try again. ;)

Yep, I never touched that. This problem occur right after I finish reformat my com. Normally I don't go to the net until I installed my AV and windows update. So when all these are done, my google already screwed up... No idea why. I will try removing that entries!

Edit: Now my google is alright now! Thanks to you guys which remind me to use Hijackthis lol one of my favorite tool but I totally forgot about it.

Just curious how my Host file being messed up lol

Do it now. Save the file. No need to restart. I'm sure it will solve your problem. ;)

Then do a Malwarebytes Anti Malware Full System scan.

Yep it solved my problem. Actually before I run Hijackthis just now, I did a full system scan for Malwarebytes and nothing was detected :s

:thumbsup:

Glad that the problem is solved. :)

Did you use a .BAT or similar patch to patch adobe photoshop or some other adobe product?

Now post another hijackthis log, so that it can be assured that it's proper now. :)

Yes, I did one for PS CS4 but i don't think that's the one causing the problem. As I had the same installation for my desktop and I also used hijackthis to check out. No junk host was added in. :o

Here's my new Hijackthis log.

It will block any of the adobe activation links. And you wont have any problems surfing adobe.com or using it's products. And yes that CS4 activator seems to have done this.

@DKT27: Your hosts file additions looked familiar, but far too long. The last 26 lines are all duplicates. Only the first 14 lines are unique:

127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com

I bet I know exactly how that happened too..

Get HostsMan DK.. good tool..

EDIT: Wanted to point out too that there are a lot of things you could do to optimize your system operation..

Thanx heath. Will check it out.

I actually have nsane.down and nsane.forums in my hosts file for faster opening. For the other sites, most of them that I visit, have multiple IPs. :(

Yea I tried it now. Is quite good. But don't forget to backup your current hosts file. ;)

And when restoring it, don't restore the original one, original one is blank, restore the one below it.

Very useful.. between SpyBot and adding their Security add-ins though I had like 134,000 entries.. hooking up was just too slow.. I know only have a very small number of them.. Currently only using a few entered by hand.. the large number above was after optimizing it even and searching for duplicates...
