Lately, I keep getting redirected to ad sites when I click a link.

Definately got some adware or malware. Dowload Malware megabytes from Filehippo and run a scan. Hopefully it can take care of it.

 

Yup it's the google redirect virus. I couldn't remove it man I tried everything so I just ended up setting my laptop back to factory settings. But I now found out a way to remove it, use rkill. Hope this helps.

 

I used TDSSKiller. Works like a charm. Removes all traces. Then just follow up with a Malware Bytes scan and it should be completely off your computer.

 

It's a malware.

 

I have a few friends who've run into this - it also can take over if you visit some of the common Adware sites like AdAware so you can't download those programs. After a lot of research, we found one program that worked: Hitman Pro. It comes with a 30-day free trial that you can use it fully and it will clean out your system. Since you probably can't google search it, the link is here:

If it's the same thing, that program is the only one we found that effectively killed it. After you run that, I'd recommend going into your IE and resetting it to its default settings - that will clear any remnants that the malware might have put in place. Hopefully that kills it, although I remember going in and messing with some registry settings before I found the Hitman solution. If you need it, I'll see if I can find the guide that told me what to delete, but hopefully Hitman takes care of it.

 

this has been happening to me to the past few days, my remedy until i run my usual scans later this week is to just double click the link the 1st click redirects the 2nd one is cash...at least for me

 

Stop punishing yourself with IE6.

Had that. System Restored a few times until it went away.

 

I think you have malware starring Michael Keaton and Nicold Kidman.

 

It's summer software suppose be wormy.

 

I had this a month ago. Threw every free anti-virus utility on the internet at it. I think TDSSKiller was what finally did the trick, though I can't be certain. I also tried MalwareBytes, Avast!, AdAware, RKill, and Spybot S&D.

It's your punishment for surfing p*rn.

Take your computer to church and they'll clean it for you for free.

 

None of those work except rkill and TDSSkiller, this malware adware is a pain in the ass.
