    Default Google redirect virus (and Bing and yahoo)

    Have got the S.MA.R.T Repair trojan twice despite having AVG which hasnt picked it up. Managed to apparently get rid of it with Malwarebytes but pc remains incredibly slow and every internet search is hijacked to other sites. So now Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro and AVG are telling me Im clean but pc is clearly infected. Cant find much on the web apart from recommending I do what I doing. Any ideas?

    Done it. Its a really tricky and clever bugger, hard to get rid of. Kapersky have come up with a dedicated TDSSKiller - but if you download the program directly the virus recognises it and shuts it down. I had to download it from here http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 onto my laptop, rename it 'Brian', save it to a memory stick and transfer to my desktop. Can't believe three major dedicated anti malware and virus programs dont deal with it.

    If you didn't download so much porn, none of this would happen. Hmm, actually I'd better go and run a scan...

    I know. Im normally so careful and stick to the kiddie porn coz Ive heard they are virus free. It might have been because I was stoned.....
