    Default Google Redirect Virus

    Good evening,


    I have Spybot and Adware already installed on my computer.

    Right now I'm experiencing a virus that redirects my google result links which sends me to another page of its choosing.

    Spybot Search & Destroy keeps finding these things, and claims to erase them, but if you scan moments later they're back again. They are:

    Advertising.com
    Avenue A., Inc
    Doubleclick
    MediaPlex
    Pipas.A
    Web Trends Live



    I do run Avast Anti-Virus and it does update regularly.

    I saw this topic has already been discuessed and is now acchived, but I figured I needed to post results in order to have my situation evaluated by one of you fine folks.

    Could anyone assist me in gettin this trouble off my machine? A million thanks in advance.


    Regards,


    Brian

    Default A tip

    have you tried unplugging the network cable before running the scan? perhaps it replicates itself when it checks for an update?
