My Browser Keeps Redirecting Me

My Browser Keeps Redirecting Me - What Is Going On?
The Google redirect virus is the most common cause of search results being redirecting to web sites that are not relevant to your searches.
This is believed to be a sub form of the Alureon virus, which is very dangerous. At first it is annoying, but there are other more serious problems that need to be addressed as well.

Should I Be Afraid Of The Redirect Virus?
The Alureon rootkit trojan virus is very severe. It covertly sneaks onto your computer, and can be downloaded from a number of sources, but most commonly peer 2 peer sharing and torrent downloading sites.
It is very tricky as the rookit can easily sneak past your protection software and Windows alike. It then encrypts itself so that it is not easily detected by anti spyware, malware or virus software.
Once it has installed itself onto your PC or laptop, it can grant a snooping internet thief permission to get a hold of your personal files. They can sneak in by intercepting the communication that goes between your internet and
computer, and many times your DNS settings will even be changed.

My Browser Keeps Redirecting Me, But What Do I Do About It?
Unfortunately, once this rootkit has installed itself onto your machine, it attacks at a very deep level and disguises itself so that most of the time your anti virus scanners will not even notice it, and neither will Microsoft Windows.
It can cause programs to perform poorly, especially those responsible for keeping your computer safe from malicious threats such as this one.
It will affect how they update, and even worse - when you attempt to install a new program, chances are that you
will get an error or warning messages that states that the installer has been corrupter.
It can also cause communication problems between your key devices and your computer, making your mouse useless or your keyboard, although this does not always happen right away.
The sooner that you remove the redirect virus from your system the better, as it can over time allow other criminals to step inside your computer, plus the symptoms seem to get worse, making removal more difficult.
Because the Alureon virus is so well made and encrypted, it requires that you remove it piece by piece in a step-by-step method, and then use your anti virus software to clean up the rest.
The main issue that people have is not getting everything removed, and then rebooting their computer too soon, which causes it to reinstall upon start up.
It has the potential to allow someone to steal your priceless information, particularly data that you use to login to websites, including online banking.
