virus is a type of virus that operates by altering the Google
search engine results so that it displays affiliate and advertisement
links instead of the real search results. 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. There are several
mutations of the Google redirect virus out there. Some mutations will
not only change search results, they will also display pop-up ads which
is really annoying. 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. Once you are inside the System 32 folder, look for
"regedit.exe". Click on it. Rename "regedit.exe" to something you
can remember. After that disable it.
Why? Because this is the place where the Google redirect virus executes
from.After that
download anti-mailware. Install it and let it run. 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. Another
important note: make sure the website you are downloading anti
malware from is secure and reputable. You do not want to end up
infecting your computer with even more viruses, do you? You might not believe it, but the number
of so called anti malware software that is actually infecting your PC
with even more adware, malware, and spyware is growing drastically. So
be careful. Once you have donwloaded a
reputable anti malware software make sure to scan ALL files and folders
on your harddrive to make sure all viruses and othe rmalicious code
gets found.
You should then head back to the “System32” folder and change the name
of the folder back to the original (regedit). Ok, after you have completed the step above go to the start
menu, click on run. Now you will have to type in "regedit". This will
open the registry editor window. Look for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Once you found it, choose "software". Inside the
"software" folder select "Microsoft". In the "Windows" tab select
"Current Version" and "run"
Now look for
RegSVR32=%system%msmsgs.exe which you can find on the right window.
Once you found it right click and select "delete".
Ensure that the executable file is stated as mentioned above and avoid
as much as possible to delete any other file as they may end up getting
rid of important registry files, forcing you to re-install the
operating system. In oder to complete the
process, you will have to reboot your PC.
If you did everything correctly,
should have been removed from your system. I recommend going to Google and starting a search to make
sure the virus is indeed gone. If the virus is indeed gone, you
should now see real search results and not fake links. One last
thing: to prevent another infection, make sure to update your
anti-virus software.
