Google Security Breach????

I was doing research to help a fellow member and typed the following into Google:

hijack to porn page

and was immediatley hijacked to a porn page. On closing my browser I was hijacked to another porn page.

Ran Spybot and AdAware and got nothing unusual in the results just the usual minor stuff you see.

Has Google been compromised?

Man, I thought I've done some crazy Google searches but you've got me beat there Bill!

Honestly, when I tried it all I came up with was this page:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search

so I doubt that Google's been compromised. As an FYI, you can leave the word "to" out of your searches unless you include it in " " with another word because that term is just ignored when it's on its own.

No, was in Google toolbar. I had the search results page show up minimized but the porn page was on top.

Never been sent to a porn page ever before!
