I'm having an issue with Google redirecting me
every time I click on a link.

I believe it's a virus or complication of some
sort but my scan wont pick it up.

Thank you in advance

Go here..

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Open the file "Hosts" with Notepad !!

If you find any mentioning of Google there..... just remove those lines.

It may work, if the virus is using that way.

Please give a try ! :)
