[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1388126, member: 134861"] [b]Coda:[/b] It isn't with my equipment. When I reported the problem this morning, I just happened to get an employee who knows me. As it turns out, they had been getting calls trickling in about a weird Chinese page that was showing up, but just assumed that it was some popular website that was hosed somewhere. When I called in with technical info, they began to look at it. A lot. All day. Finally, they called and asked if a tech could come to my house and connect his laptop. Turns out it was the owner of the company and apparently having problems believing what I was telling him, no matter how technical I sounded. Sure enough, he plugged in a Win 7 Thinkpad and got mush instead of google. That got the whole tech department working on it and finally found a router somewhere that they couldn't get into - wrong password or id. Of course, that was an immediate red flag. Turns out that it was hacked. They took it off line and google access came back. Like I have always preached - the size and complexity of your password needs to be larger than the square of the amount of money that you don't want to lose. [/QUOTE]
