Anyone here have experience clearing the "redirect" virus that seems to have been around the last few years.?
It finally caught me, and I'm having fits trying to clear it from my laptop. I have Vista, and use Google mostly, but it also affects my Bing searches.
The standard bugcathers (Malwarebytes and MS Essentials) can't seem to even find it, and the advice I've found so far online hasn't enabled me to get the job done. Been figting this thing for about a week now and can't seem to get to the root of it.
Couple of sites suggest Hitman Pro as a tool for this app, but my son (tech support) was unfamiliar with that device and couldn't advise.
