Each and every hyperlink redirects to Google

[Yogisa]

Please provide me with necessary suggestions and advices for my issue. My issue is that I have been recently facing problem regarding hyperlinks. Whenever I click on any link in any email which I receive, it redirects me to Google which is my homepage too on Internet Explorer 9 instead of going to the linked site. I have an iphone in which I receive the same emails via exchange and the same links works perfectly. I have Windows 7 64bit operating system. What is the reason for such?

I think you have problem related to your Internet Explorer settings. Just change the settings in the Internet Explorer 9 so that your problem will be solved and you won’t get the same issue again. I am recommending you to change the settings of your Internet Explorer 9 because it might have blocked the internet. You can try another option also i.e. using Mozilla Firefox as your default browser or any other browser such Google Chrome, Opera etc whichever is available with you. Hope this helps you.

I would like to let you know that redirection of Google URL was also used to fool people. It is also used for phishing filters. You know it was for valid reason for tracking user clicks. I hope you are understanding, what I am trying to say. Google uses information to improve search results and also to aggregate users information such as for example if you got to search results pages and copy the result address, you will notice that a long URL that starts with http://www.google.com/url?q=. This is what the case.

Also I would like to add more information on it that Google thought about the search results and links that re-direct you to unnecessary sites that to show a warning which will be similar to malware warnings for those sites. This kind of site also lets you install malicious software if you redirect directly. The search results redirects pages uses some kind of complicated hashes, because of which it is difficult to bypass the warnings unless until you know to build such kind of hashes. You will notice that the redirect notice says –“The previous page is sending you to new address”.

If you still did not find any help than the only option remaining with you to solve such redirections is revert from Internet Explorer 9 to Internet Explorer 8 or in simple words you can say downgrade Internet Explorer 9 to Internet Explorer 8. I am sure this will help you. Just uninstall the Internet Explorer 9 from your computer. Before uninstalling, download Internet Explorer 8. Keep in mind that you download it from official website for proper setup. Install it in your computer, use it and your redirection problem will be solved.
