    Google.co.uk search isn't working on my pc and my laptop anymore and the rest of the family are also getting intermittent usage.

    Anyone got any ideas why?

    has someone inadvertently changed default search engine on your browsers?

    or do you have an issue with a compromised router? check those first if you haven't already

    another thing to try is a tracert to see if there are some problems with your isp

    I don't think anyone has changed anything and they would have had to have done it on all 6 pc's in the house as they are all doing it.

    How would I check if my router had been comprimised?

    which router is it?

    check the dns settings that's what normally gets changed, so that you are routed through a dodgy server

    DNS looks normal it's all set to auto so no info has been put in that I can see.
