The avast popup’s more details page yields this: URL:mal http://62.116.143.22/app/bookmark/bookmarklet/bbrsCh…
Never seen that at google search on my own homepage…what gives? I ran Sam Spade on that ip address and it’s fake.
What is happening there and what do I need to do to stop it from happening when I open my browser? I’m going to change my home page to something else & change it back, and see what happens.
It isn’t fake here it’s not good http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/92e2c769fb020c34f608cab17a32ad56-1389735463
I would strongly urge you to change it and keep it changed.

Hmm. Thank you for your time Para-noid and for those two links to store for the future. I changed my home page to something else, but I’m still concerned. I do not yet grok exactly why that is happening. Avast system tray icon hover says everything is good, but does that pop-up mean that something is infected or hijacked in the google search server, or in my google chrome browser, or something else? Do I need to stop using google search? Is it unsafe to visit mail.google.com? Should I be uninstalling & reinstalling chrome, or dump it and move on to another browser…?
Is google.com not a safe homepage? This is news to me. Why would avast find that other ip address when my browser is was pointed at homepage www.google.com?
I dont know what it was linking to as my DNS blocked it as “Web Spam” but that doesnt sound like a regular google page as my home screen is also pointed at google and DNS doesnt block that one.
It would suggest that your homepage bookmark has been altered …
