Okay, for the record: there is
no Google redirect virus! Most malware prevents the user from accessing sites they want and most people us Google to search. I have found that some people who
think they are getting redirected, are just being blocked by their security from loading a bad site. That isn't a redirect, it's a security block.
My bottom line is that I have a problem when people don't give me any information on what they are experiencing, what's happening with their system, if it's happening all of the time with all browsers and all search engines from the address bar, the search box, shortcuts and Favorites or Bookmarks.
You originally said you removed one antivirus program and put another on on. Did you scan with the new program? Did it find anything? What did it do with what it found?
It appears that you had McAfee security somewhere along the line and it has processes still loading. Please run this:
McAfee Removal
Reboot when finished.
You have a Rootkit malware infection. I will write some script that should remove it. You need to run the following first:
Please download ComboFix from Here and save to your Desktop.
[1]. Do NOT rename Combofix unless instructed.
[2].Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
[3].Close any open browsers.
[4]. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts to run.
- NOTE: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If it does not, restart your computer to restore your connection.
[5]. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
[6]. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always allow.
- Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
[7]. A report will be generated after the scan. Please post the C:\ComboFix.txt in next reply.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall.
Note: Make sure you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix..
