Help
Hi Bleeping Computer Forum. I am having an issue with what I believe is a Google redirect virus. I have run virtually every malware removal tool I can find but haven't had any luck removing it. I'm hoping someone might have some advice on how to fix the problem.
The problem:
When I search with google I see some strange website domains in the status bar, and I usually am redirected to a non google search page full of ads. Uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox did not work. Domain name was pleasewaitsearch.com and recently switched to search2box.com. Also a couple pop-up ads result when it redirects.
