Google Redirect

Is google redirect a virus and if so why does Norton not pick it up during scans? Any advice on how to rid myself of the hassle would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Google Redirect

Thanks for the help I visisted the site and followed link to kapersky and downloaded the software it didnt find anything. Im not sure what is going on when I google things I am redirected so I thought it was probabaly a redirect virus. Is there any thing else I can check?

Re: Google Redirect

Ok.  You might download a coy of Free Version Of Malwarebytes' Anti Malware from  http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free.  Be sure to decline the trial of the Pro Version as it will clash with Norton.  Update and run a full scan.  This could take some time,  so be patient.  Post back with your results.

Thanks,  Dave.

Re: Google Redirect

Clear the Windows Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and prefetch folder. Download and run the Norton Power Eraser:

Let us know if it detects or removes any threats.

 

Thanks,
