Google redirect virus is a virus that’s designed to manipulate Google search results. It gets installed through a trojan horse. Whenever you use the Google search engine it hides the Google results and shows you adverts or affiliate links related to that subject. Sometimes, it also shows you fake adverts, popups, etc.


It shows you fake errors such as:

Internet explorer cannot open web page
filename.exe is not a valid win32 application
Setup files are corrupted; please obtain new copy of program

It is also capable of disabling firewalls and other security softwares which can then lead to a remotely accessible system. Hackers take this as an advantage and gain access to personal information such as login names, passwords, financial records etc.
