When accessing the internet, my google home page comes up on the screen for a second and then is replace with a page from a website called 5gigs.net. It won't let me do anything but subscribe or exit. Does this have anything to do with your latest update? Is it a problem with google?

It does the same thing in Chrome, so I don't think the problem is related to Firefox.

This problem is often caused by the "My Scores" gadget on iGoogle.

Open the iGoogle page but press the escape key to stop the page loading. If you have the "My Scores" gadget delete it.
