What's up with Google now ? no_spam 09-06-2005

Just tried to do a usenet advanced search at Google and I got four pop
up screens while connecting:

In and out of a secure website -- twice, with no sight of the two
secure websites.

Just four "do you want to continue ?" requests one after another.

After their wonderful cookies and toolbar, one wonders what nonsense
this is.

God I miss simple dejanews.

Any recommendations for another usenet search site that isn't so
blatantly committed to screwing you over ?

Hmmm, just tried http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search
and no popups. But then again using firefox with popups set off
java/javascrip on and used google.com to set preferences for language.

I do have 1,100+ tracking urls set to 127.0.0.2 in /etc/hosts

Yup I tried it too no popups. To the OP sounds like you are running Windows
something with some adware/crapware leached on your system.

What is the exact url as I have not had this problem. If you are running
windows check for adware/crapware...

http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en

Ran it just now and no secure sites routing experienced.

LOL. Wrong computer. Tried the other box. It's still doing it.
Different shortcut URL:


Funky Google URL with secure websites issue:

http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en


That's a weird one. Any idea what it's doing ?
