You ran a search in Google, but somehow, for some reason,
you didn’t get the result you wanted after clicking a link.
Browser redirect viruses are not something new and malware
developers have been using this technique for years to generate traffic to
their sites,gathering search terms and redirect users to websites from where
they’ll receive a commission or some sort of revenue.
STEP 1: Remove
bootkits and trojans with Kaspersky TDSSKiller
In this first step, we will run a system scan with Kaspersky
TDSSKIller to remove any malicious software that might be installed on your
system.
Please download the latest official version of Kaspersky TDSSKiller
STEP 2: The Rewritten Hosts File
Windows users should know about the Hosts file, a text file
stored on the C:\ drive where a list of blocked website URLs can be stored. As
well as blocking URLs with the Hosts file, you can also add lines that specify
what websites should appear when a particular IP address is visited.
All you would need to do is find the Hosts file
(Windows\System32\Drivers\etc) and open it with Notepad (right-click, then Open
with…). Scroll down to the blank space, add a URL or IP address and save the
Hosts file; the address is now blocked.
You can also use the same principle to create shortcuts to
certain websites to save time typing. The browser redirect virus uses it too,
rewriting or replacing the original hosts file with its own data.
Run ccleaner to remove browser history and cookies
make everything default
if you find this url -cut the red area and save the host file
