How to remove the Google Redirect Virus
I recently got the Google redirect virus on my laptop. No anti-virus / anti-spyware program I found solved the problem. Neither did manually deleting entries with Hijackthis. Eventually I found a really easy solution that worked to fix the redirect virus. I simply went here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378
This reinstalls all the Internet Explorer defaults and since then I’ve had no redirects in Google. There are so many unhelpful threads on how to fix this virus out there with no clear solution. Hopefully this works for many people who find my website. If this has helped you please feel free to leave a comment!
try looking at your windows HOST file
securedservers.com are hosting a server that has infected millions of machines with the google(CC) SearchSystems browser hijack virus and won’t take the server down.
See http://windowsprotection.net/remove-cc-search-redirect-virus-cleaning-guide/
30 domains and they are all hosted on address 66.85.151.99 by securedservers.com which say a lot about the company.
