I was infected with the Security Antivirus 2 days ago while searching the web. I immediatly knew something was wrong so went the the Program listing and uninstalled all the strange programs associated with this Security breach I was recieving. This seemed to work as the Security breach messages stopped appearing. However, when I went to do a Google search my browser was redirected to Findgala.com.
I went through all of the steps in the "Automated Removal Instructions for Security Antivirus using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" process. After the Malwarebytes' scan 4 items were listed which I removed. I had difficulty with deletimg the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS file and downloading the new HOST settings and was not sure the process worked. After reboot the Findgala.com problem still existed.
I ran the Malwarebytes' scan again and it listed no infections so went through the deleting process again for the
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS file and loading the new files and again had problems. After rebooting the Findgala.com redirection of Google was still present.
I am not sure that I completed these last two steps correctly.
Will appreciate any help you can provide.
