Google redirect virus is not a virus it’s a root kit. Root kit infections are very difficult to remove

Follow the below mentioned troubleshooting methods to get rid of Google redirect virus

Steps 1 - Restart your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 or shift+F8

Step 2 – Open the LAN settings of your browser.
Open your Internet Explorer> click on Tools > select Internet Options> click on Connections> click on LAN settings and check whether the check box under “Proxy server” option is selected , if selected then disallow it and click OK to complete.

Step 3 - Make sure the DNS setting is not changed.
Go start->Control Panel->Network Connections->Local Area Network->Properties,
Under the General tab, highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click the Properties.
Then, click on the Obtain DNS server address automatically option

Step 4- Download any cloud based antivirus protection (Immunet is highly recommended) to scan your computer and remove all potential infections related.
