qbids redirect to quibids ... anyone know why?

I was enjoying qbids then one morning qbids does a redirect to quibids, and even a google search for qbids is hacked, so i can't even google the word. PLEASE HELP IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, TOO!

Welcome,

I'm not having the same problem but I may be able to help. Can you tell us what is your operating system and which version of what Norton product you have installed?

Thanks

I'm not sure if that is the result of hacking or of Google being too clever?

 

When I Google on qbids I get:

 

Showing results for quibids
Search instead for qbids

 

which Google often does if it thinks you have misspelled something and the second line seems to work to the desired result.

 

Whether it is influenced by the overall clicks or not I don't know .... nor whether either site is good or bad.
