The Best way to Remove Virus,all Trojans,Malware,Spyware, Worm,Pop Up,Hijack Web browser and all Rogue Fake Anti-virus in you Computer is Restart You Computer Safe Mode with Networking:



1. Log out and reboot your machine.

2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.

3. Select Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.

4. Login. If the malware has changed your password, try logging in as Administrator. By default, Administrator has no password.

5. The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different.

Then in The Safe With Networking .Download and Scan By Using Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=contentBody;mostPopTwoColWrap&cdlPid=10997763

Enter safemode (with networking) and run a full system scan with malware bytes (after updating).



Whilst its running go to Trend Micro's website if you can (without getting redirected) and run Trend Micro Housecall online scanner.



If neither of these find any problem's, then check the credibility of your website you are attempting to access, it might have been hacked or it might be sending you there on purpose.



Install a pop up blocker (such as Adblock+) and if you are on Ffx install NoScript and WOT. The former should prevent you from being redirected without your permission.

Generally this type behavior is by a stealth installation of a Browser Hijacker / definition http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial41.html



Traditionally these are from a toolbar installation either by self or "drive by" stealth installation (occurred without your knowledge visiting a bad malicious website). They employ what is called an BHO Browser Help Object active x key in the Windows registry along with any other files.



They are generally always easily removed and the danger is they may be spying on all your browsing habits and transmitting that out for nefrious uses by cyber crime or others. This is why everyone jumps on getting rid of threats from their pc anymore. Aside from that, they introduce instability into the system as they are malicious malware and not legitimate operating or software systems usages.



Recommended to install, update, and run full scans by both a quality antivirus and antispyware program. See Microsoft Essentials to get the former Windows One Care Antivirus free now which is West Cloast Certified and has won the coveted VB100 Award ! FULL real time protection like pay products.

Hey while you are here getting rid of threats - do the quick spring cleaning of your system. when you have a quality antivirus that has top scores at VirusTotal for detections and preventions (Norton, Sophos, Ikarus, Trend Micro, etc) - you are good to go. It is always recommended to try a couple antispyware programs. Some get what others miss and only because of discovery time of their catagory threats whereas antivirus researchers discover viruses and worms within the hour sometimes. TRY ALL THESE !!
