Re: Google search virus
I had the same thing.
I found a download that got rid of it.
Page 1 of 4 - Google Search Redirect - posted in Am I infected? What do I do?: Whenever I search on google, every once in awhile it redirects to something like http:// 64 dot 111 dot 211 dot 172 or find-fast-answers.com. At first I ignored it, thinking it was going to be easy to remove, but that has not been the case. I tried running Spybot, Malewarebytes, and Avast! already [all in safe mode.] They each found something, but it didn't remove the redirect. Also, this happens in BOTH...
About halfway down it has a download called GooredFix. I'll try to link the download but I'm not sure if it'll work otherwise you can just find it there. http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/GooredFix.exe
It got rid of it but It ended up coming back 2 days later for me. I used it again and it got rid of it for good. It happened about a week ago and I haven't had troubles since.
Also I was getting my google searches redirected via a website called findfastanswers and it was bringing me to stuff like yellowbook and other sites. I'm not positive if you have a slightly different virus and if what worked for me will work for you.Last edited by Antec; 08-03-2011, 05:19 PM. -
Re: Google search virus
I had this to. I updated all my virus and spyware stuff and just went into safe mode and ran them all. Took a couple hours, but it got rid of it.Comment

Re: Google search virus
Ok I just learned earlier this week that this has been happening on all the computers in my house hooked up to the same router. But when I use my laptop on a different network, it works fine. Any ideas?Originally posted by Jay BilasThe question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites, but over the last 20 years, whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConnComment

Re: Google search virus
I'd say just completely reset the router to original settings. Then just go back in and put back all of your settings.Comment

Re: Google search virus
If you know what your doing, go into your router (guessing it's a Linksys) and change the DNS settings to Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and the problem should never happen again.

My friend's computer has this same issue. I tried fixing it last week but just gave up because the computer is mangled beyond belief.Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches. Its not too thin and not too thick. You get the support your body needs.

Re: Google search virus
Look in your "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc" folder for a file called "hosts.ini". Open this file with Notepad, and there should only be one or two entries listed (stuff like "localhost 127.0.0.1") along with information about what the file is used for. If there is anything fishy looking in there, remove it. You might want to make a copy of the file before editing it.Comment
