Google redirect notice - how to make it go away?

When I search using Google in Safari on my iPad 1, when I select a URL that I want to go to the next page is always a "Redirect Notice", instead of the selected URL, which gives the option to either proceed to the URL that I selected in Google, or to "return to the previous page". This behaviour started out of the blue, all of a sudden (i.e. I don't think I did anything to cause the behaviour), and I don't seem to be able to make it go away; also, it's extremely annoying. Could someone kindly tell me how I make this behaviour stop?

Thanks, DG111, your suggestion worked perfectly -- this is the answer I've been looking for. Do you have any idea where this aberrant behaviour comes from? I have heard viruses, malware, etc., but nobody seems to be too sure.
     Thanks again,
     Simon

    Have you turned the phone off? If so, and it hasn't fixed the issue, try a reset:
    Press and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator, and wait for the Apple logo to reappear. Release buttons. No content will he changed with this process.

    No, your FaceTime is build in, see this article for more info: iOS: Using FaceTime
    Did you enable restirctions for FaceTime in Settings/General/Restrictions ->FaceTime?

  • 'MacInstall' Google redirect trojan - how do I uninstall?

    Hi,
    I think I have a Google redirect trojan called 'macinstall'. I am on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 and it happens on every search in safari 7.0.1 and firefox even though I have reset all the basic preference settings (which were changed) and deleted an extension called macinstall. I have tried changing the DNS to an open one (208.67.222.222) as this was suggested in another forum, but this hasn't worked and I have also deleted a proxy redirect which I could see although had no idea if that might help. Has been a problem since I downloaded 'Paintbrush', hence why I think it must be a trojan and given its name it's likely I did let it install. I can't find any mention of this trojan online, which may partly be because it is redirecting my browsers...
    For example: when I type 'test' into the google toolbar I get:
    'http://search.installmac.com/results.html?c=5&v=insMac&q=test', then:
    'search.conduit.com/Results...' which is too quick for me to copy, then:
    'http://www.bing.com/search?q=test&pc=conduit&ptag=A23C4503E21E14808B6F&form=CONM HP&conlogo=CT3210127'
    which gives a rubbish bing search full of nonsense, but not full of illegal/ dodgy sites as far as I can tell which the other redirects seem to do.
    I am also pretty sure my whole system is running a lot more slowly. I am currently running the free trial of MacScan to see if it can find anything but it's only picked up tracking cookies so far.
    Please help! Idiot-proof instructions please.

  • How does one make Flash dissolve to a URL redirect or better yet, make window go away

    Have flash installed - works great - except I want it to resolve to different URL when finished.  A second option is to see the window go away and the HTML appear underneath.
    I have already used the transparent and this does not work.  For some reason, it makes its own window and pushes the HTML down and after it runs, one must scroll down to read the index page.
    See code  it at spccsp.com

    you can fade anything in flash with actionscript.  but to fade the browser window that contains flash and your popup (or popunder), you'll need to use javascript and/or dhtml or something else and the browser fades are problematic if you want your code to work across a range of browser types.

    Have you installed any applications recently?  A task killer maybe?  You can try rebooting the phone and see if that helps.

    How to i get rid of the redirect notice it shows up on my safari whenever i try to go to a different page

    Yeah, this seems to be something to do with Google, not your iPhone. A search on that error found this page:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=56a3c4b71b3dc1d9&h l=en
    which shows people using lots of browsers on different platforms suffering from it. No definitive solutions though.

  • How to remove the Google Redirect Virus on my gf's pc? Nothing seems to work!

    Hi Guys,
    So I was trying to save my girlfriend's pc from this Google Redirect Virus (the one where you are redirected to some random commercial site when you click on a link in google), but I am having real trouble. Of course I want to solve this and be her hero, so could someone please give me some advice?
    I've tried everything. The TDSS-killer, the changing of the host file, I've downloaded several anti-malware or spyware programmes, but nothing helps. I can recommend everybody with this problem to download the NoScript Add-On, so that at least you don't really go to the commercial website, but are redirected (after being redirected) back to google.
    This is what I know:
    - When I tried to solve something in MSConfig, I noticed that there where two weird programmes that started when I turned on her pc: the first is (the virus!) SetWallpaper.cmd. I can't seem to find this anywhere else on her pc and I do not know if it is connected, but I need to destroy it somehow. The second is some process called: 'fyhgylwg', and it's task is to 'rundll32 C:\User\GF'sName\Roaming\winsta8.dll, Clxeigube'. The reason this caught my attention is because the task isn't sent by Microsoft, but by 'Unkown' and I found it's name really weird.
    - No anti-virus programme seems to solve the problem
    - I haven't tried Combo-Fix yet, because I do not know the name of the file that is causing the problem
    Please help me and my girlfriend out! What can we do?

  • How do I remove google redirect virus??? I can't get onto any sites that will offer help - as they're all "redirected!!"

    I've got a GOOGLE REDIRECT VIRUS, and am not able to enter any websites that will give removal information - as I'm being REDIRECTED! I need to know the name of the file to remove...and where/how!!! Any/ALL internet inquiries for assistance are....being redirected/hijacked. HELP.

    This malware is actually in your add-ons. Go to Tools in your browser and click Add-ons and see if there are any add-ons that you didn't install. Mine was called '''XUL Cache''' that added itself. I uninstalled it and the problem was gone but the addon can have different names.

  • Google Redirect Virus Fix - How to Locate Internet Temp Folder?

    Hi - I am hoping to remove the google redirect virus and, following instruction from an eHow article, I need to delete both my computer and internet temp folders, and then establish new, empty folders for temps.
    I assume that "internet temp folder" means there is an actual folder for my firefox temp files? If so, is this found within the browser settings? Or, is it something that resides on the computer?
    Sorry for my ignorance ... this virus is sending me into entirely new levels of the learning curve...

  • How to make a redirect without auto-redirect from the portlet "edit" mode?

    How to make a redirect without auto-redirect from the portlet "edit" mode?
    I use some sofisticated customizing with server-side validation of the form data. I want to redirect to the page of the portlet "show" mode and to the "edit" mode depending on the validation results. How can I do it?

    Heay.....this worked for me.
    I am able to change the mode programatically from edit to show.
    HttpPortletRendererUtil.handleEditAction(portletRenderRequest,"OK");
    I removed Apply , OK and Cancel buttons and applied my own Submit and Back button in Personalize mode and then change the mode to show on click of Back button using the above mentioned statement.
