To a_vast,

Before we go off on a tangent here, please keep in mind all members in this thread are avast users, like you.  If you have a problem related to avast, or believe you do, (did it miss this detection yesterday?).  If there is a problem with the way Avast is operating or working, can help you there.

Kripes - how are we supposed to protect ourselves when people like Google start playing around like this: absurd!! Did I ask Google for this service? No, no, no!

OR if you believe you are infected with malware, we have jeffce and/or essexboy who will assist you.  At the very least, they can get rid of the Google modified browser for you.  And make sure your system is clean.

Many thanks - I just found google.uk.com set as the homepage in IE9 - I may even have put it in there by mistake thinking I was typing google.co.uk. Last time I visited Avast I was advised to maually type in defaults because I had been visited by adware malware in the past. Hence my alarm at finding (to my eye) an odd looking version of Google suddenly appearing - it did not restrict itself to IE9 btw & kept on migrating to Google Chrome.

Kind regards.
