Solved Google Redirects, Anti-Virus Update Failures

[Resolved] Google Redirects, Anti-Virus Update Failures

Hello. I've been dealing with some very similar symptoms from other posts I've seen. It started with the links from google that would redirect me to random websites. A temporary solution I've found is to click the link 3 times or more and it would eventually work. Later my anti-virus programs would not update and many programs that I have tried downloading will not even download. I'm guessing that I have a virus but I can't seem to figure out what it is. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Here is the DDS....

Hi and welcome, sorry for the delay.

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Answer Yes to the question "Restore Trusted Zone ?" by typing Yes and press Enter Notes

1. If you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE-SPYAD it will be necessary to re-install the protection both afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and re-protect all items. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.
2. As many of the variants of Smitfraud have begun invading the Hosts file, this tool will reset your Hosts file as a necessary precaution. You will also have to reset any specific modifications you may require such as Hosts MVPS.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder on your desktop
Select option #5 - "Search and Clean DNS Hijack" by typing 5 and pressing "Enter" to delete the rogue settings.

Follow the prompts and reboot if asked to do so.

Hey, thanks for replying. I ended up taking my computer to a local company to be fixed because one week ago my computer would not boot up and I needed it for school. I'm about to get it back today or tom. so I no longer need the help hopefully. I will post again when I get my computer back if I'm having the same issues with the Re-direct. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for replying back.

I'll leave this thread open for a few more days in case you should need malware help when you get your computer back.

 

Thanks again but it looks like the best way to get rid of the viruses is to completely wipe the hard drive. *Sigh* Anyways it looks like this is coming to an end. Thanks for all your help.

Unfortunately that is the path some have to take to cure what is on the computer.
