SpywareDr--Thanks for your analysis.
Please reread this thread. The Google URL's in post#1 are for http:// . When clicking them Steve R Jones was apparently automatically redirected to httpS:// to the desired page, but as you see the URL is also slightly changed. I also am redirected to httpS:// but to https://www.google.com/ which is not the desired page. If I manually change the URL's as given in the VDr posts to httpS:// and then paste that into the Address line, they go to the desired page.
So there is something different about how those URL's work on my PC compared to how they work on Steve R Jones and dneilsen' s PCs. Can you offer any further comment?
Thanks.
