Guitarguy Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I'm not very experienced with Norton, but I haven't heard many good things of it. Regardless, however, it's clear that something is wrong because of your Googling problem. Assuming you can still visit websites by not using Google, here's the link to download Malwarebytes anti-malware. Simply install it, run a quick scan (or full scan, although it will take some more time), and delete the virus(es) it's sure to find on your computer. Quote
20000_Posts Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Scan with malwarebytes, restart. Follow this guide to using combofix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix If that doesn't work, let me know. Should get it, though. Quote
