so i've barely used my new laptop at all yet it seems i've managed to get that annoying bug that redirects you away from google when you click on one of the links on the search results (its taken me to sites completely unrelated)
ive tried running AVG and malwarebytes and they've both came back clear.
Anyone know how to get rid of this?

I've gotten that virus so many times it isn't funny >.> only options I've found are to reformat your computer, or just learn to deal with it by using the URL bar instead of search.

You are scanning for viruses the wrong way....
Uinstall AVG shit -> install microsoft security essentials ->Restart laptop -> spam F2 -> select safe mode with networking ->Scan with malwarebytes -> scan with microsoft security essentials -> find and remove malware/virus -> reboot computer and start as usual -> learn to install a pop up blocker -> enjoy happy surfing.

AVG is Anti-Virus Guard, it stops Virus' from installing them selfs onto your computer, it doesn't actually clean your computer.

nvm, malwarebytes was finally able to locate three trojan redirects and killed em, the problems are gone now and google runs smoothly.
