I am having the same problem, on not just my machine, but some at a company I was at yesterday.

Further to the problem, it seems that if you leave the mouse over the image in google images and let the thumbnail enlarge before clicking, you do not get the redirect message.

If you click on the image before letting the thumbnail enlarge, you do get the redirect warning.

Moshi and JuniorCrooks, can you test this to see if it is the same on your machines ?

This is evidently a Google and/or Microsoft issue as I just tried what Garzini did and it is doing the exact same thing in my IE. I don't really care though as I use Firefox and the problem does not occur with it.

Well it appears I am not the only one after all. Anyway I have better things to do with my time then to continue to try to fix something as small as this. I simply decided to use yahoo instead of google, and wholla! no more problem. I don't know why I am using Internet anyway because it sucks. Maybe time to go back to Chrome or Firefox. Oh and what about Pale moon or whatever it is called? Does it support 64 bit yet? I think I tried to use it once but at that time it was only for 32 bit machines.

And one more thing seeing how restore was mentioned. I remember from my XP days that restore offered many restore points. Windows 7 by default does not offer hardly any. Is there a way to change this? I thought I saw in a setting somewhere a way to increase restore size or something. Would that give you more restore points? I see no point using restore if it only goes back a couple days.

I said one more thing but I lied. Different toppic. Why can't I use spell check on this site? I click spell check and the page goes blank. I thought it might be compatibility settings but changing it does not work.

XP makes loads of restore points.

Vista makes fairly regular Checkpoint restore points.

Win 7 seems to get around to making one eventually.

I manually create one prior to installing something new and Revo creates one every time I uninstall something. When in doubt,make a new one.

You can assign a percentage of your drive space for use as restore points (Vista default was 15%, which with a 1 TB drive is a lot) Once this capacity is exceeded, it overwrites the oldest ones first.

Increasing/decreasing the amount only gives you more or less available points to choose from, it will not change the amount of points created.

Full image back-ups are great, but if a system restore will fix things, using one is overkill.

BTW, CCleaner Tools section has a restore point removal function, handy for dumping the restore points you don't want or need to keep. I usually keep 3-5 of the latest ones.

Yes.

It is not a virus or anything like that folks, it probably does it on everybody's IE if they bother to check. It is probably a bug in IE or something at the Google Images site itself.

On XP, I just jumped from Chrome to IE8 (which is like getting out of an F22 and into a glider) and I saw no problems with google images. No warnings or messages, just a redirect to the image as expected. I clicked on them well before they zoomed.

I agree with LightStar, it's just one of those random features available at no extra charge.

PS Like Junior Crooks I also find the problem is only with IE and Opera. Did not test extensively but Chrome, FF and safari seemed ok

But the problem is also in Opera. The other person on the forum reported it in Firefox although the problem has gone today.

I have not tried Firefox or chrome yet but Just downloaded Pale Moon and the problem exist with it too. I did however import things from IE so that might be the problem with Pale Moon.

I am just glad that I feel a little bit less of a jackass.

I use FireFox all the time JC, it does not have the issue, and neither should PaleMoon technically as it is a derived from FireFox's code.  Might be that you imported settings like you said though.

I checked both IE and Chrome and it happens with both of them but not with FF.
