Anyone Try Getting Onto Daily Paul? Google Shows Up Instead!

[libertygrl]

Very weird. Try it out. I typed in the address and Google shows up. I did a search for Daily Paul and clicked on the link and the same thing happens! What's going on?? I don't trust Google. Sabotage?

Sabotage?While I was viewing a RP vid on youtube and typing into the chatroom here my computer and xbox mysteriously shut down, restarted, and for several minutes refused to let me get back on the internet. I checked my "cleaning" schedules, etc., but nothing provided a rational explanation. The rest of the electronics/electrical in the house were totally unaffected by this phenomenon. Talk about wierd!

It's now 7:08 est. Same thing - GOOGLE!

Daily Paul sucks though.

Really?? What would cause this to happen? I never use GOOGLE.


Even the links from search engines don't work for me:

Daily Paul comes up fine for me.

libertygrl - Dailypaul came up for me - if it's still not for you it could be a local computer problem (spy-ware or something)

do you have any weird Google-toolbars installed?

If you're on a pc, you could hit Start, then Run, then type "cmd" to go to a command line.. then type

ping www.dailypaul.com

what do you get back? I get 97.65.137.56

Seems like it's limited to you. Someone could be playing a game with you. A hosts file put on a computer can be used to make certain URLs go to certain IP addresses.

There's a Google news bar that came with the computer, but I've never used it. This is the first time this has ever happened.

Do you have another browser installed? Try Firefox or something.

[libertygrl]

I google Ron Paul and it comes up with ton of sites. I can get to the campaign website, but no links to Daily Paul.

Download and run this:
MalwareBytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/)

Tell us what the log says.

All I have is Safari. I guess I could try another browser. But I have to cut out of here soon.

Even if I have a Mac? I never had a problem with viruses.

Okay... starting to get paranoid now. Is there a way to find out if I have this file?

Sorry - my online support ends at "Mac" :(

If she was using someone else's wireless, couldn't they edit the router to point Dailypaul to google for a bit of fun?

Is it your internet or someone else's?

I don't think it's anything malicious.. good luck! Maybe someone with more Mac knowledge will hop on later..

Try a different DNS server.

IPs for some free DNS
