Google redirect virus (GRV)

It is the one of the most notorious virus which simply, infects the computer and starts redirecting the search result of the websites to some other malicious websites and porn sites. It causes a great chaos and hazard on the person who got infected with this virus. Because of such features, it is also called as browser hijack virus. 

Every day millions of computers get infected by this kind of virus, and its removal is a bit difficult process as it gets bundled with many root kits commonly known as TLD3 or Alureon Root kits, which start every time you restart your computer and operates before your computer boots up properly. It changed your computer settings in such a way that when you type Google’s web address in address bar of your web browser, you will be redirected to a malicious web page which looks like Google. And, when you click a particular link, a web page having malicious files on it will get opened. 

The worst thing is that it affects the DNS of computer and can steal your personal information. It too degrades the overall performance of the computer system.
