On a workstation I administer when ever the user opens Firefox or use Google to search for something both think I am in the Netherlands rather than the US. I have checked the location and language settings in both Firefox and Windows 7 and both are set correctly for US and English. This oddity started at the same time the user picked up "My Security Shield" malware which I was able to remove. Currently both Antivirus and malware scans show the system as clean. Would like to avoid a reinstalling the OS if I can so any help would be appreciated.
This has started happening for me too. I'm in the UK and this happens on two separate computers and across browsers, so is unlikely to be software. I suspect Google's geoip location data is wrong for the IP, though I have no idea where you can update that. – George – 2014-01-07T12:22:28.243
