Not sure if this is a malware in my server or browser, but a few days ago a client of mine complained that when he searched for a given site (Courfleurie[dot]com) in google, and then click on that link in Google's result page, instead of going to the site, he is getting taken to Google.com.br page.

I couldn't reproduce that, and neither another friend whom I asked to have a look.

This morning, client sent me a google link, which when I clicked I went to a google page and then when I clicked on the first link.

It's happenning in my FF & Safari and not in Chrome.

Any thought on this, anyone ?

Answer 1

This sounds like server-side malware, I bet it's a joomla or wordpress site

Answer 2

Google handles redirects based on the geo-location of the requesting IP address. This is most assuredly a random failure, assuming you're not obscuring your source IP using Tor or something.
