Bad google redirect virus

For the longest time John I ran Spybot and Malwarebytes, then I dumped the Spybot and ran malwarebytes and Superantispyware. Then this final selection was Superantispyware and MS Security Essentials. Up until about August 27th, the last two were plugging along just fine protecting everything and throwing up warnings about stuff that should be not allowed and auto quarantining stuff.

Ms Security Essentials was the one that was disabled. AVG fixed the usability of MS security and allowed it to be updated and reconnected. So a feather in there cap for that.

The Google redirect virus is a rootkit virus.

The people who create this stuff should be hung by there toenails!

Just made a full recovery copy on my 1 Terrabyte external hard drive.

LOL!. The news had a article on a caught internet money fraud scumbag on TV, he was in front of the judge sweating bullets. If I remember right, he had absconded with about $750,000+.


What do we do with this guy Andrew?.

Those redirect viruses suck!! The easiest way to get rid of them is to use rkill.exe first and then run a scan with Malware Bytes and then you'll want to go into your browser settings and make sure the re-direct option is unchecked. And the best anti virus software for the money right now is Trend Micro Titanium which starts at around 50 bucks with a 3 user license. Norton is okay but to me it's a bit of a resource hog when running in the background and for free Anti Virus, AVG Free is good. However the free anti virus software is limited in protection. I do network installs and computer repairs for a living and a good 65% of the repairs I do is virus removal.
