Wanted to check on the detail of supermarket unit pricing in the US and see if it was ever legally mandated or whether it was always entirely voluntary and even going to google.com directly or using the google.com link on the main simple search page doesnt help, you still get the australian hits at the top. Nothing in the new tools strip on the left thats of any use either.

If that does work it is the cookies so try clear history (everything)

I seem to have fixed that and now both troubles seem to have subsided. Touch wood.(I ran lots of free well known detector plus removal software and some specific tricks for the virus which seem to have fixed my troubles.)
