Google.es in all browsers, but not malicious...

Hi
I've encountered the dreaded redirect to "google.es" in both the Firefox sidebar search and it's url search. First saw it in Firefox today. Popped into Safari and found the same behaviour. I did all the basic checks - 1) language settings = all English and 2) my IP resolves to an English town... so when I came across a couple of threads in here describing Malware associated with Flash... I took it very seriously as I knew I'd recently allowed an "update" of the very plug-in. Ho-hum. However, checking for the private shared and environment files mentioned in these threads drew a blank... hum, what to do.
Well, I decided not to take any chances so I reluctantly (cos it's a bind) wiped my disk and clean reinstalled the system.
Without migrating or reinstalling anything else (so only a basic system exists on the machine), I booted Safari - bummer -> redirect to google.es.
But almost immediately it stopped!?? Safari's side searchbar is currently behaving properly pulling in google.com results as one would expect.
Concluded it was the nasty malware afterall.
So, next... I installed (from mozilla.org) Firefox a fresh... bummer!!!! Google.es. Arrrgghhhhhh!!! But now it's doing the same as Safari and behaving properly.
Both browsers are currently pulling-in results from google.com... having pulled in a couple of searches from Google.es initially though it's a complete clean reinstall (System and browsers).
Has google been playing silly buggers??? Is that it?
Anyone got any ideas as I'm feeling a bit insane right now.
I need to reinstall from Time Machine if it is a Google malfunction.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks CF
I'm a bit stumped by that as I know I've changed the router user name and password to something different to the supplied/factory/default. A username and strong password I've made up with in otherwords.
Youtube (another google product) has been going to youtube.es ... I'm wondering what the fact it's google products is telling me. I've checked through the google settings, but don't want to be logged into my google account (is that what Google are after?) in order to surf.
At the bottom of the youtube page there are a series of options: Langauage, English, Location Spain. I'm not in Spain and as I've said, my ip resolves to a British city.
Thanks again. I'm still probing this.

    Could you share a link to the page?
    Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
    If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

  • Embedded youtube videos load on all other browsers but not Firefox

    I have embedded youtube videos into a website...
    They work on ALL OTHER BROWSERS but not on Mozilla Firefox.

    2. 18 different computers running Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OSX, Linux Ubuntu 12.10 and Fedora 16.
    3. Using old embed code instead of iframe.
    4. Loading HTML5 works but Firefox cannot fullscreen (still under youtube development)

    Good point. When I insert that snippet of code in a new page, it runs for me. (Except that the first one says the frame is too small.) Does this work for you? http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/yt/941211.html

  • We are facing issue to open a static form PDF in Chrome Browser , which is loaded using Adobe FormService.Able to open in other browsers but not able to open the static forms in chrome with LC 11.0 version

    We are facing issue to open a static form PDF in Chrome Browser
    , which is loaded using Adobe FormService.
    Able to open in other browsers but not able to open the static
    forms in chrome with LC 11.0 version
    Below error message:
    The document you are trying to load
    requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the Adobe Reader installed
    or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use Adobe Reader.
    For information on how to install Adobe Reader and configure your viewing

    Please let us know do we have any option for disabling
    <NoXFA/> tag by calling formService. RenderPDF() method on adobe service
    For dynamic forms its working by adding <NOXFA/> in
    DDX xml . only for static forms its not working because we are not using
    assembler service for this forms.
    Please let us know how we can disable XFA in static forms??????????????????

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • How to create a custom control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?

    Hi all
    I would like to create a customized button as a master so that if I change the look of the master all other buttons will change too.
    I have done this with a custom control as a "strict type def" otherwise the look will not change BUT If I do this as a strict type def I cannot change the Boolean text anymore which should be different on every button.
    How can I create a master control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?
    Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Steve Chandler wrote:
    I don't think you can do that. I just looked and as I suspected the Boolean text property is read only for strict typedefs so you cannot use property nodes to change the text.
    As a workaround just make it a typedef. When you want to change the look open the typedef and make it strict, make your changes, then make it non strict again. You will have to update the Boolean text again for all instances. Kind of a pain. Maybe this is something for the idea exchange.
    Kudos for being sneaky.
    I like these creative work-arounds!

    Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

  • I can not get Firefox to play music backgrounds on pages in browsers it works in IE and other browsers but not firefox, what HTML or Jave script do I need too use to make them work?

    I'm having a problem with firefox playing background music on some sites, it works with IE and other browsers but not with fire fox, what html or java script do I need to add to the pages so that they play the music?
    I develop my pages in Front Page and I know that the music only works in IE, so if someone can tell me how to correct this problem as it is important as I use fire fox as my main browser.
    I thank you in advance

    If a website uses BGSOUND then it will only work in IE.

  • Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

    Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

    I either didn't do the correct mapping sequence before or I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with my keyboard which has the expression pedal set to the same volume control as the mod wheel.
    All this sounds like you are confused about the general nature of MIDI Continuous Controllers (MIDI CC). The MIDI specification allows for 128 different CC's: CC0 to CC127. Some are typically "preallocated" to 'standard functions: CC1= Modulation, CC7=Volume, CC10+Pan, CC11= 'Expression'. Some act as switches such as 'Sustain' CC64.
    frodojon wrote:
    Everything appears to be scaled from -63 to +64 if that's what you mean by scaling?  What do you mean by MIDI CC7?
    Mainstage works with MIDI CC's generally in a number of ways:
    Some standard ones are automatically passed through to all MIDI/Instrument channels unless you specifically block them. Others are not passed through unless you specifically map them to something.
    This mapping can be done basically two ways (with MS 2.2):
    a) Make a Screen Control in Layout mode, and assign it to a particular incoming MIDI CC message. Then, you can map this Screeen Control to a variety of parameters such as the volume of a particular channel strip.
    b) With MS 2.2, you can do the above Assign and Mapping directly, without the need for Screen Controls as an 'intermediary'.

    Yes.
    It sounds to me like you have an issue where you have several hardware controls on your Keyboard set up to transmit the same MIDI CC. This is probably not a good idea, and it would be much better if you assigned them to transmit different CC messages (CC1 for Modulation and probably CC11 for the Expression (though you may want to set the pedal to some other number instead.
    Once you are transmitting different CC messages, you will be able to Assign and Map much more flexibly:
    for example, you could one to control the overall output volume at Concert Level in MS, whilst the other controls the volume of a specific channel within a Patch.
    Your issue of layered patches is one of "Scaling": one Screen Control (assigned to an incoming MIDI CC message) needs to alter the ranges of different channel strips to different amounts. You can set this up by using multiple mappings for one Control, each set to work over a particular range (for example a goes from -20 to 0 whilst b goes from -30 to -20 etc.).

  • Trying to print an object at all pages but not last

    Hi.
    I'm trying to print an object (a square ) at all pages but not printing at last. I try to use "All But Last Page" at "Print Object On" property of field but this is not ok.
    Tried to get value of any function like SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM to find the last page indicator, but I think this doesn't exist.
    Any idea will be apreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hope this helps.
    It's all about anchors. Objects cannot have a property of Print Object On "Last Page" or "All but last page" if their Base Printing On property is "Enclosing Object". In order for it to work, you should anchor the fields or frames you want displayed on "all but the last page" to the main frame which holds the Repeating frame of the detail section of your report. Then, you should set the Base Printing On property to "Anchoring Object" and now you're ready to use the "All but last page" and "Last Page" options on Print Object On property.

  • MP3 audio file plays well in some browsers, but not all

    I have inserted a media file (MP3 audio file) on a web page to play when clicked.  The play bar shows up and plays perfectly in Chrome just the way I want it. In Explorer the play bar is HUGE and it plays, but repositions itself on the page due to it's large size.  In Safari or Opera the play bar either doesn't play anything or doesn't even show upon the page.  Does anyone have a ny idea what's going on or have a solution?

    #1 You must use an HTML5 doc type. Your doc type is XHTML which doesn't support <audio> tags.
    #2  To work in all browsers, you need to include an alternate file type -- either OGG or WMA.  Opera & pre-FF21 browsers do not support MP3/mpeg files.

  • Certain website will load on other browsers but not the new Firefox

  • SWF files work in browsers, but not local?

    I can view flash content from the net in web browsers, but
    the swf files I have on my local hard drive do not work. They are
    asking for 'open With' but when I look for the flash folder in
    programs files its not there. I have have also looked in system32
    folder can find it anywhere. Can anybody please help, this is
    driving me up the wall.

    The code you have posted is not the same code as used in:
    <div id="gallery">
    in the link above.
    The reason that the Flash is not displaying in FF is that the portion of the code used by FF was omitted. The code currently used on the page only works in IE.
    I'm no great fan of the IE conditional statements used in the code you posted so I don't blame you for not using it. But you do need to provide something for FF.... the old, out dated method would be to add and <embed> for FF... here's the newer method..
    So either use code you posted above or better yet, get rid of that and replace the current <object> with
    <div id="gallery">
    <object id="FlashID" data="flash/201.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="958" height="242">
       <param name="movie" value="flash/201.swf">
       <param name="quality" value="high" />
         <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
         <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0"/>
    </object>
    </div>
    Give that a try. Will work in both FF and newer IE versions.

  • Why does my javascript code work fine in all other browsers, but not Safari

    Previously, I have asked how Safari handles javascript trying to resolve a problem with a slide menu, (http://www.designoutput.com/testslide.html) being directed to validator. I have corrected as many things as possible and still have code work in other browsers. Why will my code work in all other browsers (IE 5.2, Firfox, Netscape, and Opera) and not Safari. It appears that Apple would address some of the problems that people are listing. Possibly, my problem is not with Safari, but my code, if so why does it work in all other browsers. Having more knowledge of how Safari accepts code or handles code differently than other browsers would be helpful. It would be nice if I could debug my code in Safari step by step to know where the problem is at. I'm just frustrated with Safari after working on my problem for over a month. Would be very greatful to anyone that could just being to get my code to appear in Safari (only a blank page in Safari, menu appears in all other browsers)

    the ilayer tag should only be in your NS (i.e. not NS6) code, but it too needs to be closed.

  • I have code on one of my website pages to list all the entries in a database (PHP). I can list all entries in other browsers but not Firefox.

    In Firefox only so much data gets displayed. When a new entry is added one drops off the bottom. The information displayed gets cut off at any point in the data. It will sometimes display only part of the oldest entry. It's like only so many lines of data can be displayed.
    I have viewed the same page on other browsers and don't have this issue.
    I just updated Firefox to 19.0 but the problem continues.
