Hi guys. Few days ago, i got a message that kept saying that windows security center service could not turn on. so i went to services and found that it was disabled, so i set it to automatic and enabled it. few seconds later, it popped out again saying that it could not turn on, and when i went to check, it had disabled itself. I went online to search for it and when i click on a link, a got a redirect to gneriotognah. when i heard of the goingoneart*h virus, i searched for it. to my surprise, when i typed it in, it turned into goingonearth (was actually typed without asterisk) I've bought kaspersky, dled malwarebytes, hijack this, and the redirects keep coming back. i followed http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic299463.html and the redirects went away for a while. but they then came back about 30 minutes later. help would be much appreciated.
