Google Browser gone Spanish!

I don't know how this happened but when I go into Google it's all in Spanish and some web-sites seem to be translated into Spanish. I don't know how it changed because I didn't change anything!

Does any one know where I go to change it back to English? There must be a way to do this - so please let me know. Thanks.

This makes me suspect someone has been on my computer while I've been on line and changed it!

Re: Google Browser gone Spanish!

I live in a flat and so have neighbours close.
To avoid anyone else 'piggybacking' my connection I have disabled the wireless facility on my BT homehub, and connect via an ethernet cable. (I only get 10GB a month, and I want to be the only one using it)

I am the only person with access to this PC so I dispensed with the password sign in, until my son (has an IT degree) told me that without an access password in place it is easier for remote hackers to gain access.

You need to uninstall then reinstall Google.
...or maybe try System Restore if uninstall seems too drastic for you.
