Solution to IE8/Google redirect problem

  • Follow


My Google search results were sending me to different webpages.  I searched 
numerous forums for solutions.  I used Spybot, Malwarebytes, HiJackThis, and 
other suggestions, with no success.  Finally, I downloaded the free version 
of HitmanPro 3.5.  HP3.5 identified atapi.sys as "Rootkit".  Deleted and 
redirect problem went away.  I hope this works for you!

Hi,

Have you rebooted since you Deleted and redirect problem went away?

Rootkit infections usually aren't that easy to remove. Even a nuke and pave 
is not enough.

Web search for rootkit infections

You should also ask yourself "How did I get infected in the first place?"... 
free software is seldom value for money.. is it? nor can it.

Regards.
