Somehow my desktop, in the last couple of days, has suddenly begun to go to Google Deutchland when I do a google search.
A little more disturbingly, I can't log into my bank on my desktop - though I can on my laptop. It tells me that the answer to my security question is wrong - though the question is one that I wouldn't get wrong.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Give me your account number and the answer to your security question and I'll give it a shot.

You're not accessing over a wi-fi network are you?
If so, change everything now...pw/pin/everything. In the bank.
If not, I dunno...the google thing...do you use a proxy server to get online? Google sends you to where it thinks you're coming from. Even if I type in the .com address, I still get the .co.za page. Could be a proxy routing thing...Not sure.
The bank...well...maybe contact their support staff.

From the google page, click preferences, set your language to english. Hopefully that's all it is.Damelon wrote:Somehow my desktop, in the last couple of days, has suddenly begun to go to Google Deutchland when I do a google search.
On the desktop, type the answer to the security question someplace visible, like notepad. Does it look like you expect?Damelon wrote:A little more disturbingly, I can't log into my bank on my desktop - though I can on my laptop.
