Hey guys,

I seemed to have contracted the dreaded Google redirect virus. When i try to visit a site it sends me to xxx.traveluntilyoung.com. I've run my AVG, Spybot and AdAware and everything comes back clean. Can anyone walk me through what i need to do to get rid of this pesky bugger and avoid getting this again? Thanks.
 
I just recently had a similar thing.

It turned out to be "Virut", an EXE infector.

I'm saddened to say that the infection was so deep that only a reformat fixed it. Which is rare for me... I almost *NEVER* have to reformat.



Just my 2¢
