    Hey lads.

    I have a bit of a problem here and ive spent hours trying to fix it with no avail. Its a strange one.

    When i search for things on google a get no results.(see img1)(in some cases maybe 1 out of 10 i do get the result, usually if its the first search) The problem is this is not the web browser as its happening on Internet explorer as well as Firefox and chrome as well. The thing is the web page is still there. If i search and toggle safe search on or off, the results show. Also if i go into google settings and hit cancel then results show. Ive done the virus scans and the malwere and adware scans and there nothing there(well the was a few but deleted now)
    There no programs that shouldnt be there or no programs running in the task manager that causing it. If i use the inspect elements tool on firefox i can click on things and it will bring up the html code for that section. All the settings in the browser are set to default and firefox was only just installed after this was happing to make sure it wasent a browser issue.(it work for a few minutes but failed after a few minutes of searching)

    This is google only as yahoo and bling are still working.

    There is also no problem in safe mode (with networking)
    I am running windows 7 home premium using service pack 1
    Ive tried a system restore
    ive made sure my mega refresh data is enabled
    i have reset the Hosts file back to the default.
    and of course ive tried doing browser resets and clearing cookies
    ive deleted temp internet files.
    also flushed dns catch

    The strange thing is that if i type the ip address of google (74.125.24.101)and then search , it works without problems. Ive tried setting my dns to google 8.8.8.8 but no avail.(since undone)

    This all happened out of the blue yesterday.(no blue screens of death or anything) and i cant seem to find anybody else with the problem.


    Any help folks?
