    Recently I have relized that my google searches have been differnt.
    1. In Mozilla Firefox (Which is my defaut browser) the link to look at cached pages and/or similar pages is gone.

    Basically you have answered your own question
    Both browsers might deliver different search results, but I dont have any experience with Firefox, so someone else might be able to help.
    But its certainly not malware.

    umm yeah, looking at the results you get in each search being the same, I don't see why you think you have malware just because the page looks different. Firefox renders some pages differently then IE so some pages will be different in firefox then they are in IE.

    Just a shot in the dark, your FF version states your running McAFee, there have been some issues with that and FF suggest you drop by the FF forums and search McAfee/Firefox. Hope that helps

    Hey Toni_1947 that's what my pages used to look like. I'm going to run ewido tonight and see what happens. Unless anyone can tell me how to directly fix this. I'll give u an update later.

    Found this on the Firefox forum pages and it might help

    Try clearing your cache-
    Tools>Options>Privacy>Cache>Click "Clear Cache Now"
    And the cookie for Google.com-
    Tools>Options>Privacy>Cookies>View Cookies>Click Google.com (highlight it)>Click Remove Cookies

    You might want to go to this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php?c=4
    Which is also in your Firefox Bookmarks

    Your welcome Louisd11 and Thanks for posting back, apparently it's a conflict issue in the FF cache, and affects browsers so if you have similar problems with any other sites you can try the same again. Thankfully it rarely happens
