Hi there,

Although my problem probably isn't unique, I feel like I have read posts upon posts and not received a response that will help me cure my problem. I believe I have the "Google Redirect Virus" and my TCP/IP Process "ping.exe" keeps spiking its RAM every couple of minutes even after it has been deleted. As of right now I can suspend the process with "Process Hacker" but have yet to find a permanent fix. I used GMER to look at my rootkit problem and it did detect something, but the SDSS Killer (or whatever it was called) didn't seem to help my problem. I have the saved log "gmer.txt" if it helps (Attached). I believe I have been rather diligent in trying to read forum posts and looking up answers in your basic malware removal guide, but so far it has been to no avail. Any help that could be given would be greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi there could you run the following programmes in order please

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:

Thanks for the quick response, I will try this asap. I've temporarily disabled AVG, but the problem might be in the McAfee anti-virus though; I've tried in several different ways to politely tell McAfee to go play in a corner for a few minutes but I can't seem to get around that. If I boot in safe mode (or any other alternative boot procedure) will the security of McAfee stop suffocating me for a minute?

Not the ideal way but yes try that
