Help Needed ASAP. by mzjatti on 02-16-2009 at 09:41 PM
Hey guys, I really really need help asap..
so, like, recently when I google something say, youtube.. and if i click on the result for the first time, google redirects me to a different link.. but if i re-click on the result again, it'll direct me to youtube... So i'm guessing I have a virus..
So, then I did a virus scan online with Trend Mirco Housecall ..and it's come up with that I have a virus called 'MAL_OTORUN2' and it's located in C:\autorun.inf ... and when I search for that file to see if i can delete it or whatever, I get a notepad opening up with a bunch of crap written on it ... So i can't really do anything about it..
How can I get rid of this virus? 
..
I'm not really good at like using computers either so, if ur gonna help please use simple terms with me! haha...
Thank you in advance!

I had the same problem. Google used to redirect me to some strange sites. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a very good program that solved the problem and I never faced it again since then. You can download it from here.

Okay, thanks.. well it's scanning my files at the moment, did it also sort of slow down your computer too?

. Also, please make sure it's a full scan and not a quick one. Finally, clean the infected objects.
