Google redirect virus 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. Your computer gets infected by visiting an infected site. A trojan downloads in the background secretly. It usually executes whenever you open your 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 fix Google redirect virus 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 Once you are inside the System 32 folder, look for "regedit.exe". Click on it. Rename "regedit.exe" to something you can remember. Then disable it as it is the location in which the Google redirect virus executes itself from.Once you have completed this step, download anti-mailware and run it. 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. It is hard to believe, but the number if scam sites offering anti malware which will infect your PC with even more malicious code, viruses and trojans is growing every day. With the right type of anti-malware software you should carry out a complete scan in all drives, files and folders to get rid of the Trojan horse and other viruses.

Once the scan has been completed and all infections have been fixed with the help of the anti malware software, go back to your System32 folder. You probably remember that you renamed "regedit.exe". Rename it back to "regedit.exe" now. 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. 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" Look at the right window for an exe file called RegSVR32=%system%msmsgs.exe. Delete it.

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. Now it is time to reboot your computer. In this way changes will take effect.

If you did everything correctly, Google redirect virus should have been removed from your system. I recommend going to Google and starting a search to make sure the virus is indeed gone. You should now get real search results and not fake affiliate links or ads. One last thing: to prevent another infection, make sure to update your anti-virus software.
