I doubt its spyware, virus or a browser hijacker..
because those take you to sites someone wants to force you to go to..
for ads or to give you a virus or whatever..
but why would anyone want to force you to go to google's spanish language site?
whats the motive?
that doesnt make sense..
still..its always good idea to scan..
We have a local call-in radio show about computers, and the guys who run it have a thing they call the "security tango"..
if you run it according to the directions, its supposed to clear out any worms or viruses:
http://securitytango.com/
its designed for "average" computer users..not IT professionals,
so some of it might seem overly basic, depending on your knowledge of computers..
but its meant to be that way, so anyone can understand how to do it..
