virus is a type of virus that operates by altering the Google
search engine results so that it displays affiliate and advertisement
links instead of the real search results. It is installed via a Trojan horse and usually
executes itself once a user opens a browser. The other damage it can cause is
to redirect the pages of the websites to spam and ad websites or bring
up ad pop ups on the screen. You most likely are reading

that it is really important to download the most up to date version of
anti malware to make sure that the software will actually find the
virus. It will also help to get rid of other trojans, worms, and
viruses your PC is infected with. Another
important note: make sure the website you are downloading anti
malware from is secure and reputable. You do not want to end up
infecting your computer with even more viruses, do you? This is
important because there are many unscrupulous vendors who offer spyware

infections on your PC and can fix them.
