What's wrong with Google today?

Which do you think is more likely -- that there's something wrong with a billion dollar company that makes the most popular website in the world OR there's something wrong with your computer.

You've got some spyware on your system.

Well, that's what I figured so the first thing I did was have the IT department run a scan. Looks like the corporate IT monkies did not do a good job.

For a few days, I would get that when I clicked on Google cache using my work computer. The regular search results still worked.

I have been having the same problem. I figured it was a corporate IT thing.

I was hoping this post would be a place where I could rant about how ****** the Ad Sense program is but I guess I will be moving along.

Try deleting all your cookies and temp files and try again. On IE: tools>internet options>browsing history>delete all.

The weird thing is that I did absolutely nothing to my computer but the problem seems to have gone away over the weekend.
