I have a desktop computer running Windows XP. I have been using Firefox and IE web browser for a very long time with any issue, but for the last few days every time I do a search on Google and I click on any results, I will not see the page I want to visit, but get redirect automatically to a malicious website full of viruses and malware. I believe my computer has Google redirect virus. Can anyone help me to remove this virus?



Thanks..
 
Run a anti-virus programme...



...some websites will allow you to run a web app. version of their software to remove particularly malignant viruses...



You'd have to use the address bar and not Google to access these sites. If you have a backup image of the computer (you really should), then you can load up the backup image, and you'll be back in business.
