seems i have been hit with the Google redirect virus that redirects all the links I click from google to random ad sites... I've ran Malwarebytes, had no results, ran Spybot, fixed all issues. Still I have the Redirect virus! What's wrong!! I have Windows XP SP3, Home Edition. If any of you can read HiJack Logs, please ask me to post one, i will PM or post here. yeah it sucks, i can't search anything with Google. I'm pissed, and any help will be appreciated . i managed to get some sites that it redirects to, i advise you NOT click em, they might have spyware or such. seems at the end of the links are the stuff i type into google... this is weird
This says to make sure your Malwarebytes is up to date, run a scan, remove anything it comes up with, and then clean out your registry... It gives a link to a good registry cleaning program http://www.xdelbox.com/how-to-remove-google-redirect-virus/
...does it only affect google? www.altavista.com That's what I always used before google became so easy to remember (dumb suggestion, but thought it was worth a shot)
...Ouch, :/ that's what you get for going on porn Naughty! lol. Anyways, I suggest SUPERantispyware The best freebie antispyware out, in my opinion. If this don't get it. Nothing will!! Sounded cool right?
It only affects Google. And yes, I've learn my lesson The_Fox... Getting some professional help as of now, because I can't seem to fix it. EDIT: FIXED after a loooong process of scanning and rebooting with defferent programs xDD
wow I'm glad someone created this topic looks like I've been hit by it too anyway what's the easiest way to get rid of this? Is it really a virus? How did I get this?!?! Please help cause this thing is really pissing me off big time
haha no need I found this awesome site http://www.troublefixers.com/remove-virus-which-redirects-to-gogooglecom-gogooglecom-redirect-virus-removal-tool-for-windows/ that shows you how to get rid of it, but it seems that the virus mutated, so these ways doesn't work anymore, all you had to do is go on safe mode + networking and download Trojan Remover, and from there, it should be a smooth ride.
frankly, I have no idea what happened, but it seems that method worked out fine I have no idea what's a browser hijacker, but from the words, I can probably tell that's something that infects your internet browser also, just to know, if I used my USB to download an anti virus software, and then I use that USB on the infected computer, does it infect the USB too?
Depends entirely on the virus. If your USB has a switch on the side to set read only, then set it to read only before plugging it in.
Yeah, but I had to run Trojan Remover first, for AVG to run, cause the virus didn't let any Anti-Virus run
