Greetings list,

This evening (Sat Night) after an update, which was followed by an
epiphany crash (unusual) and some HAL errors, I rebooted my system and
restarted epiphany. When I typed a search term into the address bar, I
got a bigpond search page, instead of the familiar google page.

For example, when i enter 'evil' into the address bar and hit enter, I
am redirected to:

http://www6.websearch2.bigpond.com/search?qo=evil&rn=gep_LPmUlQciExp

When i enter 2 words, google seems to show up.

Have those evil F**ks been using this new gamearena repository to plant
their filthy malware into ubuntu machines? Is anyone else experiencing
this?

Regards,

Shane Handley
