Why are my Google searches being redirected? This is the big question I asked myself when I encountered this problem for the first time; trying to get out of this problem really made me feel so annoyed and frustrated.
The Google Redirect Virus will not only be annoying. It will not only make the infected computer work slowly. It can also bring serious damage to the system. I was thankful that I've become aware of this problem earlier and I was able to fix it by combining tools and by deleting some hidden files --- files that contain coders which serve as the driving force of the virus. I also downloaded an antimalware program from the internet; however, it hasn't been enough to clean my Windows registry. For that reason, I also searched for a good registry cleaning software.
When I was still struggling with the effects of this virus, I would experience redirection whenever I search for something. The appearance of my browser was totally changed. My homepage too was changed to a porn site that I never visited in my entire life. Stubborn pop ups would always come out in every redirection I experienced. I would always be brought to unknown sites that only contain ads and almost no information at all about the topic I am searching for.
When I realized that I caught a virus, I borrowed my daughter's laptop and search for ways on how to get rid of it. I found a helpful forum and I joined in. There was a thread that talks about this problem. This thread helped me gain enough information on how I can totally get rid of this infection. I learned the step by step procedure and I've also been aware of what software to download, which can sweep my system and heal it from the Google Redirect Virus.
