| Post subject: | Google Redirector Virus? |
I have an anti-spyware program on my PC called StopZilla and every time I run a scan, it comes up with a couple hundred files called "Google Redirector" and states that they are malicious files. I remove them and immunize my PC from those files but they still keep coming back. Does anyone know about why this happens all the time or know how to get rid of it? |

in addition, you could try this http://security.symantec.com/nbrt/npe.aspx or http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-se ... moval.aspx it will perhaps get rid of whatever is changing the settings, but probably leave it up to you to restore them. next time, use a decent browser and keep Flash & Java up to date, block JavaScript and use common sense and things like this won't happen, no matter how much porn you browse (I would know). I haven't used an AV in years, but I always turn off my monitor and type my password right-to-left when entering my bank credentials, just in case. |

Derp, looking through the other posts I think I shouldn't be running Google searches while running a scan... I tried not doing that and it stopped. Thanks for your consideration. |

I did some research and that program seems very shady. You should try to uninstall it, but some people were having problems with it even if they uninstalled. I would reccomend any of the programs that people have suggested, we use malware bytes all the time at the shop. For real-time protection I use AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials. I discourage Norton and McAfee because it consumes more resources. But If all fails you should consider reloading your OS |

It's not my computer really, it's my mother's old work computer... Not built for gaming and crashes a lot. I really don't use StopZilla a lot, mostly Microsoft Security Essentials and Spybot Search and Destroy. All StopZilla is there for is a Popup blocker. |
