Default Can not search Anything with Google.

I do not know whats wrong.

Lately When I search anything in Google it hangs.

I knows its not the internet speed, If I go directly to a site from a link or the address, it goes there like normal, but if I search anything from google it doesn't even show any hit.


Could this be a adware problem or...some type of malware?

Just Google? What about other web pages or search engines?

Yup, just Google.
and recently, since I use Firefox, random tabs (only one) open now and then, as ads from sites I've never visited, this makes me believe that it has something to do with adware.

and also its not just google, some sites from servers I know are over seas never load or just hang at the "Waiting for a response" status just like google.

other than that every other site has work normally.

One more thing, I another point that makes me think that something is wrong with the computer, is the fact that everyone on the wireless connection in my house does not have this problem...just me.
(This computer is the main PC that the Router is connected to)

Do you have AVG 8 installed?
I noticed that the link scanner can make google lag occasionally

No, but I have AVG Free installed before Bitdefender replaced it.

My anti-virus programs have been..

Norton(pre-installed)>Kaspersky(bro)>AVG(installed by me)>Bitdefender(my bro)>ZoneAlarm(bro)

Default Re: Can not search Anything with Google.

If all you have is the free ZoneAlarm then it's not an antivirus program, it's just a firewall, secondly, you only have one AV program installed at the moment right? Having more than one can create conflict between the two and actually put your computer at more risk.
It is perfectly fine to have Zone Alarm firewall with an AV program though, but if you have the paid version of Zone Alarm (the Internet Security Suite I believe) then you've got their AV program and don't need another one.
Out of all the ones you've had though, Kapersky is the best, and while I've never used it (I use AVG) there are numerous tests that prove this, just search google...
