    Having a wee bit of a Google issue....(SOLVED)

    Recently, my desktop google from my house has been a little bit weird..

    First off i noticed the font had changed, the Shopping Tab is gone, and if I press "MORE" it just reloads the page?!?!?

    Also at the bottom of the page where you change page is also different

    I use chrome so tried a different browser and it was exactly the same!!

    I checked the url for a dodgy redirect but it was fine

    Ive also noticed that Chrome keeps me logged in but google.com(.co.uk) keeps resetting my preferences every time i visit. And my security settings are all ok.

    Even instant results is not working despite being set to "Always on" and having a fast stable internet connection..

    My laptop at work, same OS, same Browser, same details is absolutely fine... :(

    Any Ideas??


    Things Ive done:

    Switched it off and on again
    uninstall Chrome, reinstall chrome
    Full Virus and Malware scan
    Logged out of Chrome and back in
    cleared cache\cookies

    Try clearing all caches again, close the browsers and type this from CMD

    CMD: ipconfig /flushdns

    UPDATE:

    Solved.... I checked my internet options just to make sure I wasn't somehow connected to a proxy, and in the LAN settings I had this (http://localhost.world/localhost.local)

    deleted and set to autodetect, et viola!!
