The Google Redirect Virus is one of the most annoying types of malware that you can have. The “Google redirect virus” is where every search engine you go on has random redirects to price comparison websites or some other make-money scheme.  The virus will be making your computer run very slow as well as redirecting all the search results that you go on. You will eventually reach the site you want, but only after clicking on the links 2 or 3 times.

The Google redirect virus is a big problem for many people and it can appear overnight. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to remove the virus for good:
