WTF happened to Google this week?

Every search I perform takes forever to load now that each result is followed by that little annoying swishy circle thingy.

Arrrg.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement for my Home Page?

Yahoo.

Dogpile.

Askjeeves.

I haven’t noticed any difference.

No problems with me either.

I actually did notice it for a short while, now its ok though.

Did you guys check out Google Health?! wow this is getting scary ... Google will become a big brother watching us. (call me paranoid, but it is fast becoming a reality)

Rick.

OK.. I figured it out...

Turns out it was a manifestation of the new AVG, which 'prescans' resultant links.

Yet another setting I forgot to disable....

Did you guys check out Google Health?! wow this is getting scary ... Google will become a big brother watching us. (call me paranoid, but it is fast becoming a reality)Wow, I never knew about that service.

I would never ever ever turn over my health information to google, no matter what kind of privacy policy they have. Some of their data mining techniques are getting out of hand.

Google Health is a place to store your medical records for future reference. I went into the site and it had my username already filed in. Now it just a matter od uploading my stuff.
