Anybody any clues on how to get rid of this virus. It blocks access to
the google search engine, although it allows access to Bing. It started
with version 2.48 today on startup. I have updated to 2.49 but it still
appears. When one enters the google search engine url you get asked to
identify various pictures to make sure you are not a robot. However, it
is never satisfied with the answers and so you are excluded from
accessing the search engine.
Any pointers to its eradication would be much appreciated.
Thanks

PS It does not affect Firefox or Edge browsers.
Sounds like a browser highjacker and not a virus.
Does starting SM with add-ons disabled make any difference?
Do you use a proxy?
What do adware scans like Malwarebytes, Adwcleaner, etc, show?
I used http://www.google.com and it is replaced by the url
http://ipv4.google.com/sorry/index?continue=http://www.google.com/%3Fhl%3Den&hl=en&q=EgRZ8w_6GLCY2NcFIhkA8aeDSycOov1rnFpdManh62LuwUAjCHW7MgFy
Which is what you almost always get when using the tor browser:
Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer
network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the
requests, and not a robot.
Maybe you have an extension/addon that auto-updated and is now going
slightly berserk? Try using a brand new profile in Seamonkey & see if
that makes any difference. Or you could install wireshark & see what
traffic SeaMonkey is sending when it starts up.
