Why Are My Google Searches Redirected to Other Sites
?
Just a few days ago, I was bugged by the newest virus that's causing headaches on many users in different parts of the world. Since I got this virus, I would always experience my Google searches redirected to other sites. When I wasn't yet aware of this problem, I really found it weird that whenever I type a keyword, I would get results that are not relevant.
This problem persisted for days and when I thought that there is something wrong with my computer, I called several computer technicians; however, none of them was able to fix the problem. I even got in touch with a few computer services who gave me a surprising estimate of how much I will be charged to get my computer fixed. The rates they gave me are quite high.
I was almost giving up when one of my online buddies told me that I might have caught the nasty virus which was given the name Google Search Redirect Virus. Given some info about it, I immediately borrowed my sister's laptop to research about this virus and how to get rid of it.
Good thing I was saved from spending so much money, as what the previous victims did just to get this problem fixed. I was able to prevent it before it brings any more serious problems to my files.
How did the latest virus cause me trouble? Whenever I make a search by typing words on the search bar, I would be redirected to other sites that has ads everywhere or contain information that I did not request at all. Some of these sites contain pornographic materials. This is also one of the reasons why I got so worried. My kids are also using my computer and I do not want them to see such sites. I am happy now that I got a Redirect Removal Program that was able to free my computer from this annoying virus in just a matter of minutes.
