Can someone tell me how to get rid of this virus? (1 Viewer)

[michaeljennings]

Every time I google something and click on the link, i get redirected to all these random advertisement websites such as

Sydneyexpress.com, womenshealthbase, truelocal, find-answersfast.com

Its pretty damn annoying..I scanned my computer with McAfee SecurityCentre but im still having this same problem. Could someone tell me how to get rid of it?

Un-install your web browser and re-install it.

 

[michaeljennings]

so all my files are safe?

 

[powlmao]

Is it only your web browser which is doing this?

 

[michaeljennings]

umm like a couple of days ago i wasnt running any programs or anything but all of a sudden audio for an ad started playing?? that was full on weird.

 

[powlmao]

Maybe you got a virus on that porn website you were on


If it is only your Browser uninstall it and reinstall it.

Do you have an antivirus software? Run it.

Don't do what I did. Once, I was bored and tried fixing my computer which had a virus, so I scanned it with an antivirus, saw which file it had infected and what it was, tried deleting it, getting locked out of control panel because the virus was a bitch, get frustrated and start playing with the registry and task manager and fuck up the whole computer even more than the virus

yeah i dont watch porn lol. But what do you mean by its only your browser? What else could be happening because so far it just redirects me to random ad pages like the ones you see at the side of a webpage

A virus could have installed an Add-on which forces your web browser to go to certain pages.

And of course you watch porn

Use this anti-virus scanner, its the toughest one I've seen and it's free for the scanning feature. When you install it, update the virus definitions, and click full scan, might take awhile but let it be.

Anti-virus MalwareBytes

Try reinstalling your browser first because it is easier and quicker.

I highly doubt it's just the browser. It's probably a trojan virus.

Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials, then run it.

I wrote a add on thing to my brothers browser and now every link redirects him to a troll face

Doesn't really matter, Just make sure up get the latest virus definitions, and scan your computer [full scan], preferably with the internet connection turned off, so the virus can't transmit it is being destroyed back to the hacker.

I would recommend a boot-time anti-virus scanner in AVAST, but it would probably be too complicated for you to do. MalwareBytes is stronger imo, which I have seen from previous experience.
