a few days ago my computer was infected with a virus, now my search engine redirects my results to ad pages and pop ups. i did a full scan with mcafee and it found something called Prcviewer, which it was unable to remove. (im not sure if this is what was causing the problem). I'd really apperciate some help.
thanks :)
I just fixed the Google search hijacked on my computer. I had to edit the hosts file to fix. The hosts file had lines:
212.117.178.25 www.google.com
212.117.163.43 search.yahoo.comI tried Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, AdAware, and CureIt! but none of them found this.
