Tried loading google and it opened up in a random fake search site. I assumed it was Spy ware so i ran a search using Spy bot and it discovered about 50+ files. Removed them but it still occurs. Ran AVG (which is extremely slow btw - 1hr 20 minutes to search a 80gig hard drive?) and discovered a few random viruses (looked harmless although a virus is a virus). Removed them but now Google just doesnt load.

Anyone know how to get google to start working again?

Ok thought i'd add that google is still being re-directed again (and 'not working' doesnt occur)
