Hi all,

Has anyone heard/come across this? I have this piece of s*#t on my laptop and its pushing me over the edge.

If you havnt heard of it, basically.... if you search for something in google and click on a result. It redirects you to another (non google) results page, with results.5 in the http.

Ive read thousands of forums and they all say different things.

Can anyone tell me the truth on this malware, what does it do and how can I get rid of it for sure.

cheers in advance Woody

From the little I have read of it, you need to remove it from your PC (MalwareBytes or MS Malicious Software Removal Tool), flush your DNS cache (tells you where other PCs are in the WWW), and possibly reset the DNS on your router (and change the default password).

 

This seemed quite helpful - http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/s ... fec8&hl=en
