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. 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.
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.The next step is to
download the anti-malware software and run it in their system. It is very
important to download the most recent version of anti-mailware. Why?
Because only the most updated version might be able to get rid of
Google redirect virus and it will also fix other infections. 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? 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.
You should then head back to the “System32” folder and change the name
of the folder back to the original (regedit). 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".
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. In oder to complete the
process, you will have to reboot your PC.
If you did everything correctly,
should have been removed from your system. Try it! Go to Google and search for
something. You should now get real search results
and not fake affiliate links or ads. I highly recommend updating your anti-virus
software to make sure you don't get re-infected.
