I knew it! My Google search results were hijacked and I was left there sitting by myself trying to figure out what to do. The problem is I am starting to lose patience because all of my attempts to fix this dilemma seem useless.
I run my antivirus --- unsuccessful! I called a PC tech to service my computer; and still, there's no success. I am in a hurry and I need to finish my report. I may not have any choice but to go somewhere else and use someone else's computer, because mine is in a rut. Good thing, my nephew lives inside the same subdivision as I do.
When I told him about my problem, I was not surprised at all to hear that he has experienced the same thing a few days ago. It's called the Google Searches Redirect Virus. It is the latest misfit in the World Wide Web nowadays --- giving headache and frustrations to lots of users.
Bryan went with me when I went home. Of course, he already knows how to fix the Google Searches Redirect Virus because he's been there, done that. He will help me eliminate this wayward component from my system. The earlier, the better; because it can bring more serious damages to my files if I let it stay there for a few more days. What's even worse, it can scrape email accounts, passwords, credit card details and banking information. The hijackers can use the info they can get from the system to steal money and identity.
I have to admit that Brian had a hard time fixing the problem. It is because there is a procedure to follow. After checking my Windows registry and freeing it from some programs that have gotten in without my awareness, he immediately installed an anti-spyware and anti-malware program. Running this program restored the health of my computer and my browser was back to tip-top shape again.
