Google redirect virus/malware.

[road2ruin]

Has anyone come accross this google redirect virus/malware? My machine is somehow infected with a sly program that when you search with google it brings up your results as normal yet click on a result and it takes you to a totally unrelated place. Usually something like Monster Marketpace.com.

I have run all the usual anti virus programs and adaware and spybot but nothing comes up! Any help would be appreciated.

Look in your "hosts" file (NOT hosts.sam) It should look something like this.

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts



# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
