Virus that Redirects Google Searches

You might have not heard of the virus that redirects Google searches: but many internet users did, including me. It can truly be annoying and will not be removed even if you run your antivirus for a lot of times, even after updating it.

The Google Redirect Virus is the latest virus that's been hijacking browsers with the intention to manipulate Google results. It was created by online criminals who would like to phish for info and use them to do online crimes. When your system is already infected by this virus, you will notice that your search engine is not efficient anymore. You will get irrelevant results to your searches. Moreover, you will be brought to scam sites that will persuade you to purchase something, a software in particular, which will later turn out to be the gateway of the virus to your system.

This is exactly what happened to me. I bought a software from an unknown site and since I installed it, I started experiencing weird occurrences on my browser. With all eagerness, I browsed for various forums and stumbled upon threads that contain discussions about this virus. Others are sharing how they were able to get rid of it with the use of Redirect Removal Applications that are specially created to deal with this problem. These applications can be downloaded from the internet. I immediately run the brand I've chosen and within minutes, my browser was back to normal again.

Online criminals keep on finding ways on how they can take advantage of internet users, rob them of money and worse: steal their identities. You can get this type of virus from malicious sites: however, you might not be aware that these sites are carriers. They can get into your system when you download videos, MP3s, software, applications and others. They can sneak into your system without you knowing it. That is because you antivirus will not recognize it; hence, you will not get any alerts.
