Frustrating Problem

I wanted to Google something, so I typed www.google.com in the address bar, and I was taken to a Yahoo search page! I figured I must have mistyped something and tried it repeatedly with the same results. Even when I click on the google.com item the page brought up, it would say the site was unavailable.

What the hell is going on here?! If I want to google something, I want to google something, not ask Yahoo for permission. This pisses me off.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there something that has happened to my setup that makes this happen? If so, how can I correct this?

If this is something intrusive by Yahoo I will be very disappointed.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Google.com was also down for about half an hour just now as well. DNS issues it would seem.

OK, sorry to be a Chicken Little. Looks like it may have had to do with Google being down. Can't find the requested address, goes to a search engine. Makes sense. I just did a google and was fine.

Thanks for the info guys.
