I used http://www.google.com and it is replaced by the url http://ipv4.google.com/sorry/index?continue=http://www.google.com/%3Fhl%3Den&hl=en&q=EgRZ8w_6GLCY2NcFIhkA8aeDSycOov1rnFpdManh62LuwUAjCHW7MgFy running malwarebytes and adware did not remove it. However, switching off the router and turning it back on looked, at first, as though it had solved the problem but after a little time this plague reappeared. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
