New Virus, causing browser redirect and attacking anti-virus programs.
In terms of the browser, my home page (google) works fine. Then once I do a search, the search works, but when I click on one of the results from the search, that is when I am redirected. Tried a few quick fixes, but to no avail.
In terms of anti virus programs, can't update, but can run Spybot. Not decting any errors. Also my browser will not let me go to the spybot website to download the zip of the dection files. AVG works fine, but does not detect anything. Lavasoft does not work, and will not update, same as spybot.
Wondering if I can download the updated definitions to a different computer, then email and unzip. Not sure if that works.
