virus is a special kind of virus. It becomes active whenever you do
a search on Google and alters the search results. Instead of displaying
real search results you are fooled by displaying solely advertisement
and affiliate links. The Google
redirect virus executes whenever you launch your web browser. How did
you get infected? Most likely by visiting an infected site which
installed a trojan on your computer. The other damage it can cause is
to redirect the pages of the websites to spam and ad websites or bring
up ad pop ups on the screen. Users who are experiencing this type of problems
do not need to worry because they can easily fix Google redirect virus
and also keep their systems away from future attacks by it.
The first step to fix
Google redirect virus is to open the “System32” folder found in the
Windows folder located at the local drive or the drive C. So you found the System 32 folder? Great.
Now look for "regedit.exe" and click on it. Rename "regedit.exe" to something you
can remember. Now, disable it. The reason for this is that this is the place
where the Google redirect virus executes from.Once you
have completed this step, download anti-mailware and run it. It is very
important to download the most recent version of anti-mailware. Why?
Because only the most updated version might be able to get rid of
Google redirect virus and it will also fix other infections. You should also make sure that the
website you are downlaoding anti-malware from is reputable, secure, and
does not infect your PC with even more viruses or trojans It
is hard to believe, but the number if scam sites offering anti malware
which will infect your PC with even more malicious code, viruses and
trojans is growing every day. It is important to scan all files and folders on your
harddrive. This is to make sure that the software finds all threats and
infections on your PC and can fix them.
Once the scan has been
completed and all infections have been fixed with the help of the anti
malware software, go back to your System32 folder. You probably
remember that you renamed "regedit.exe". Rename it back to
"regedit.exe" now. Once this is done, on the start menu, click on
run and then type in regedit so as to be taken to the Registry Editor
window. You will now
have to search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Once you located
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE select "software". Ok, you are almost there.... now select
"Microsoft", "Windows" and then "Current Version" and finally "run"
Look at the right window for an exe file called
RegSVR32=%system%msmsgs.exe. Delete it.
It is extremely important to double or even triple
check that you are deleting the right file. If you delete another file
you might delete an important registry file which may result in having
to install the whole operating system again. Now it is time to reboot your
computer. In this way changes will take effect.
If you have done everything correctly,
should be gone. Try it! Go to Google and search for
something. You should now get real search results
and not fake affiliate links or ads. One last
thing: to prevent another infection, make sure to update your
anti-virus software.
