virus is a type of virus that operates by altering the Google
search engine results so that it displays affiliate and advertisement
links instead of the real search results. 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. 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. If your
computer got infected with the Google redirect virus, do not panic.
There are ways to fix Google redirect virus in some simple steps and
also protect your PC from future attacks.
Once you
have calmed down, open the System32 folder. This is the first step to
You can find it in the Windows folder. If you cannot find the Windows
folder look for it either on your local drive or drive C In the
folder, the users are required to find the “regedit.exe” file and right
click on it. Rename "regedit.exe" to something you
can remember. Now, disable it. The reason for this is that this is the place
where the Google redirect virus executes from.The next step is to
download the anti-malware software and run it in their system. Please note
that it is really important to download the most up to date version of
anti malware to make sure that the software will actually find the
virus. It will also help to get rid of other trojans, worms, and
viruses your PC is infected with. Another
important note: make sure the website you are downloading anti
malware from is secure and reputable. You do not want to end up
infecting your computer with even more viruses, do you? 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. 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" 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. On this window, you will find
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” on which you should select software. Inside the
"software" folder select "Microsoft". In the "Windows" tab select
"Current Version" and "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".
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. I recommend going to Google and starting a search to make
sure the virus is indeed gone. Your Google
search results should now take you to real websites and not to fake
affiliate sites. I highly recommend updating your anti-virus
software to make sure you don't get re-infected.
