What is up with Google?! Why is it doing this!?

I use Google probably to look up 50 things a day. Long story, not important. I got onto he computer yesterday and googled something (can’t remember what) I clicked a link it immediately redirected me to some site called Vibe. This has happened 4 times in the last 10 minutes. I ran a full scan with AVG twice in the last day, and it hasn’t picked up anything. I just read some sort of online article saying that Google was infected with some sort of something, but I don’t know. I was reading over my Internet history and noticed that every page I was redirected to, the web address was just plain numbers (Example: 13.166.86.459)(note: I can’t remember how many numbers were in the web-address) Is this just my computer, or is it Google? I do not get redirected on ANY site other than google.

In your replies, please do NOT suggest that I download some other antivirus program. AVG is #2 on the list of best antivirus programs of all time, and I am happy with it! If you are just going to tell me to download something, don’t even reply!

If you have a suggestion other than downloading something, please tell! Thank you sooo much in advance!

It usually a link thats actually not what it says. Whoever put this up was trying to play some tricks on you.

its some sort of advertisement and it should open up later.

It doesn’t sound like a virus - most likely spyware…have you run a spyware check?
