Google ReDirectVirus How to get rid of

The Google Redirect Virus is a Trojan that attacks computers that have Google set as their home page, or use Google as their search engine. As you probably already know that is a lot of people, as Google is a very popular search engine. It works by hiding the search results that you would normally see, but instead shows you fake advertisements and other malicious sites.

The sites you are redirected to offer rogue software for you to purchase and download. Of course, if you purchase anything from any of these sites you will get even more Trojans and spyware on your computer. If you are infected with this, you are also infected with a TDL3 rootkit.

Sounds like big mess, doesn't it? Do not worry. There are applications that will kill this virus, and remove it completely from your computer.
