I was going to check my gmail and typed the first letter wrong. I didn't notice until I hit enter. It was too late. All kind of porn popped up on my computer. I had to cold reboot to get rid of the porn.
I took my computer in for a turn up. It wasn't running right. They told me they cleaned up a bad virus but they couldn't get the operationing system to start. They installed a new system and saved as many of my files as they could. I don't know if that is what caused the virus or not.
I told the guy that worked on it and he said you have to be very careful typing in addresses. All the domains for various gmails have been purchased. I imagine domains have been purchased for very common sites. My typing and spelling are very bad since having a stroke in 2010 resulting in many status partial seizures.
Be careful out there.
Here’s a workaround for typing errors.
Put google.com, bing.com, or another search engine in your tool bar. Click on the button to bring up the search engine when you want to go to a web address. Type in the web address as a search and the search engine will find the address and not bring up objectionable content.
