Google redirect virus

Post by ADF-Dizz »

Guys have just been in receipt of the dreaded "google-redirect virus"

And its a giant pain in the neck - it just redirects everything to other sites as well as porn sites - I'm having trouble removing it and until I have removed it or someone can give me a removal tool (maybe a bomb) I'm now using Yahoo.

So just be aware guys - and does anyone have any ideas???????? [smilie=75.gif] [smilie=90.gif]

Fixed.... Solution Uninstall Firefox Delete the two folders below (This deletes everything!)

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla

Reinstall Firefox.

Stop looking at porn.

NOD32 is the shizzle....its record for catching virus in the last 10-12 years speaks for itself

Removing spyware, malware, greyware can be a tricky situation an can often require complete re-install to be absolutely positive that it is gone.But your first point of contact should be hijackthis.
