Re: Virgin Media Hijack customers browser search options
I have just spent the last five minutes deliberately mis-spelling/mis-typing URLs into Google's address bar and have yet to be presented with the VM 'advanced search system' (or whatever it's called.) I recently upgraded to 30mb and so got a new router and have no opted-out.

So my question is this....

If I can't deliberately trigger it by entering wrong URLs yet heero_yuy can seemingly trigger it by entering a correct URL, something is obviously wrong somewhere.

Okay. I just got it by typing in www.hafilax-online.co.uk instead of the obvious. Interestingly, it didn't offer me the correct URL
