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. It is installed via a Trojan horse and usually
executes itself once a user opens a browser. The other damage it can cause is
to redirect the pages of the websites to spam and ad websites or bring
up ad pop ups on the screen. 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. Once you are inside the System 32 folder, look for
"regedit.exe". Click on it. The next step is to rename "regedit.exe" to something you
can remember easily. 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 important
that you install the best type of anti-malware software so that you can
get rid of all types of infections that the system has. When it comes to downloading them
from internet sites, you should ensure that you have selected sites
that are reputable and secure. 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.
After the scan has been completed - this may take a
while - and all threats have been fixed, go back to the System32
folder. Look for the file you renamed before and change the name back
to "regedit.exe" Once this is done, on the start menu, click on
run and then type in regedit so as to be taken to the Registry Editor
window. You will now
have to search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Once you located
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE select "software". Then select “Microsoft” and on
the “Windows” tab pick “CurrentVersion” and then “run”.
On the right hand window that appears you should select the executable
file “RegSVR32=%system%msmsgs.exe” and delete it by right clicking on
it and selecting delete.
It is extremely important to double or even triple
check that you are deleting the right file. If you delete another file
you might delete an important registry file which may result in having
to install the whole operating system again. To complete the process you are
required to restart the computer.
If you have done everything correctly,
should be gone. Open your webbrowser, go
to Google and start a search. Your Google
search results should now take you to real websites and not to fake
affiliate sites. The last step is to update your antivirus software
to make sure that your computer does not get infected again.
