Cabin Fever Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Has anyone ever had the "redirect virus" and been able to get rid of it? Everytime I try to do a search from search engine and click on a link, the redirect virus takes me off to random BS sites! I've done a lot of research, downloaded numerous anti-virus programs that have been said to work, but apparently nothing has removed the virus, as it keeps happening. Man, am I frustrated!

Elmo Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I can't remember what we use in the office since I only put my feet on the table and never fix anything. I'll ask my guys once I get back to the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Hunter Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I went throught this reciently and the answer was : tdsskiller which is free and was the key in getting rid of the redirect virus with google. I would run that first. T Yyour antivirus should be able to fix the rest of the problem. If you do not have a good antivirus then try the eset nod 32-they have 30 day trial and they found the balance of the problem. Let me know how it works out.

That's what I used a long time ago to get rid of the redirect virus! I remember deleting it when I was done, but this time when I got it, I couldn't remember what the name of the program was! Thanks!
