Today my system got infected by google redirect virus. When I tried to open  www.techwhiz.in in Firefox, I was taken to www.google.com. Then I tried to open www.yahoo.com from IE and Firefox, but the result was same. I was redirected to www.google.com. Initially I thought that my internet connection had some problem and the DNS server details are throwing some error. It took me around 1 hour to understand that my system was infected by a virus and the problem was not in my internet connection. Removing it was very easy.

  • Download GoogleFix.exe (Box.net / Esnips.com)
  • Close all running instances of Firefox
  • Run ‘GoogleFix.exe’
  • Follow the on screen instructions
