This virus is renowned for redirecting your web searches to random websites, and causing pop-ups to show when you try and click search results. This virus is a very sneaky infection, because of the way it installs itself on your computer and then hides away, making it very difficult to remove. Viruses generally have an application or file which is continually being opened on your system to help it run - making the job of an antivirus program quite easy - in that they just need to identify these infected settings and remove them from your system.

Unfortunately, the Google Redirect Virus is extremely difficult to remove because of the way it "hides" on your PC. It works by just changing the browser redirect settings to make them redirect your Google / Yahoo / Bing results to random websites. More specifically, the virus works by hijacking the natural redirect that all the search engines use when you click a result. What happens is that whenever you use a search engine, and click a link, it will send you through to the site you want via their own website. If you click a link from Google, it won't go to the target site straight away - it will go through Google.com first so the company can measure search levels & metrics for their ad network. The redirect virus injects malicious code to divert these redirects to random ads websites, and do it just by changing a few settings inside the browser files that your PC uses to run.

You cannot remove the Google Redirect Virus by using traditional AntiVirus software. You need to use a special type of software which is able to scan through the various files this virus changes, and then let it fix the various problems that the infection has caused. You can do this by looking at this new tutorial, which suggests using a little-known tool called "ComboFix":http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/spyware/how-to-remov...
