A browser redirect fix is not an easy thing to find. You probably know this already as I would be that you have spent some time scanning through forum posts and blog posts looking for a solution. The effects of the Google redirect virus are really painful to deal with. Chances are that you probably got it totally by accident, but I will say upfront to be careful of torrent sites, and to use your best judgement when surfing the internet.
So how do you fix it and find a good Google redirect virus removal tool in the first place? The steps can be simple, but you'll need to be careful.
Step 1
Go to your start menu, and open Run. For later versions of Windows this will probably be in the Accessories folder. Once that comes up enter this command devmgmt.msc, then hit enter.
Step 2
This opens your computer's device manager which will pop up in a new window. Now click the View tab at the very top and select Show Hidden Devices.
Step 3
Now locate TDSSserv.sys with the system extension. Once you have located this, right click on it and select to disable it. Don't do anything else other than just that.
Step 4
After you have done that, make sure to run a scan of your computer using some form of a spyware removal tool, or download one that you can use.
In some cases this can help, but some people have reported that it didn't do anything for them, because a lot of times anti-software and malware removal tools are not able to see the hidden registry entries that can be causing the problem.
