I have the Google re-direct virus (I think?) and am having a hard time following directions on removing it, as it keeps automatically closing pages related to virus removal. Symptoms: redirected from Google links, slow performance, web pages related to virus removal cause window to automatically close, cannot run or download antivirus software. I've read and re-tried all of the "8-step virus remover" suggestions to no avail. Any help is very much appreciated, as I would like to avoid re-formatting.
Edit: I got Super Anti Spyware to install and run, but after scanning for roughly a minute it automatically restarts my computer so that the scan cannot progress. It found a few files which, after pausing the scan right away, I could remove, but that's as far as I can get. Both the logs from those files are attached here. Nothing else will open or run except CCleaner.
Second edit: I got hijack this to run, log is attached. Still can't get Super Anti Spyware or Malwarebytes to run regularly.
