is a real pain. It changes google search results when doing a search
and only shows affiliate and advertisement links instead of real search
results. It is installed via a Trojan horse and usually
executes itself once a user opens a browser. 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.
To
the first thing you should do is go to the System32 folder in the
Windows folder. It can be found on drive C or your local drive So you found the System 32 folder? Great.
Now look for "regedit.exe" and 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.After that
download anti-mailware. Install it and let it run. 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. This is
important because there are many unscrupulous vendors who offer spyware
as software and the user will be exposing their systems to more harm. It is important to scan all files and folders on your
harddrive. This is to make sure that the software finds all threats and
infections on your PC and can fix them.
You should then head back to the “System32” folder and change the name
of the folder back to the original (regedit). The next step is to open the registry
editor window. If you don't know how to do this: go to the start menu,
click on run and type in "regedit". On this window, you will find
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” on which you should select software. Ok, you are almost there.... now select
"Microsoft", "Windows" and then "Current Version" and finally "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".
You should note that this
folder contains extremely important files. If you delete the wrong
file, Windows might stop working completely and you will have to
re-install the whole operating system. So better double check that you
are deletign the correct file. Now it is time to reboot your
computer. In this way changes will take effect.
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. I highly recommend updating your anti-virus
software to make sure you don't get re-infected.
