O.P. Help Needed ASAP.
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.

I dont really know about that. Let's just wait and hope it solves the google problem first :P. Also, please make sure it's a full scan and not a quick one. Finally, clean the infected objects.
