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. 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. You most likely are reading
this, because your PC got infected with the virus. Don't worry. There
are ways to fix Google redirect virus fast... if you know how to do 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. Then disable it as it is the location in which
the Google redirect virus executes itself from.The next step is to
download the anti-malware software and run it in their system. 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 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.
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. 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". Then select “Microsoft” and on
the “Windows” tab pick “CurrentVersion” and then “run”.
Look at the right window for an exe file called
RegSVR32=%system%msmsgs.exe. Delete it.
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. To complete the process you are
required to restart the computer.
If you did everything correctly,
should have been removed from your system. Try it! Go to Google and search for
something. Your Google
search results should now take you to real websites and not to fake
affiliate sites. One last
thing: to prevent another infection, make sure to update your
anti-virus software.
