Damn google!!

[-Kwesnoth-]

I am getting so fucking tired of searching for something, and getting redirected to another stupid site, or trying to search anything through google, and it thinks I'm a bot so I have to type in a word that appears in a box, but it never goes away!??!

Is someone else having this problem, if so how the hell do I make it go away?

Yes sounds liek the "google redirect"

Here’s what it does:

First, the virus infects your computer. You’ll never know it though, since the virus doesn’t do all that much on its own.

But go to Google (who doesn’t do this at least once a day?) and things start to change. See, the virus is designed to redirect all the links you get in a Google result. So you’ll be searching just like you do every day, but you’ll start seeing that the links you click aren’t taking you to where they should.

Instead, they take you to dangerous sites that are waiting to inject your computer with a serious dose of malware. Then, you’ll take your computer into the shop to get rid of the malware.

Great, no more malware! But you still have that redirect virus on your computer. Yes, this means that next time you search on Google, the problem happens all over again!

It can be incredibly frustrating.

Now, when most people come across this problem, they get all upset at Google. Google’s a multi-billion dollar company, why can’t they stop petty hackers from ruining their search results?

Well, it’s because the problem’s not on Google’s end. Remember, this is a virus you got on your computer. A virus that redirects all your search results to vicious spyware infested websites.

K, I'm downloading the spybot thing now. Fingers crossed.

Yeah I had this ages ago, turns out it was my router acting up and had to do a factory settings reset. It affected a lot of people too, people couldn't sign in to google and stuff.

You are either doing it wrong or your browser is messed up.

Yes its definantly a virus.
Using other engines doesn't remove it there may be one that it doesn't affect but it will still be there.

Your computer has AIDS... What the fuck have you been doing to you computer!?!? XD

Have you tried this?

But really those google redirects suck. Make sure to boot into safe mode when running the malware bytes/etc software.

No.

Try combofix.

When I was IT manager at my last firm, this tool was successful at ridding 3 instances of the google redirect virus.

Problem with the virus is, not all of it gets removed with any one program. PLUS, some variants of it must be manually removed.

It creates at least two directories buried in a system folder. the folders are alphanumeric strings of about 20 letters and numbers. Inside is the core of the redirect. On the nastier versions of it, it replicates itself so even if you kill one directory, there is likely another.

Just keep at it, you can get rid of it.
