Whenever I google search the results tend to redirect me to some spam site. I've tried to find a way to fix this but I can't find a clear cut answer. Neither Norton or Malwarebytes have found where the virus is hiding. If anyone who's knows about this virus can help me or point me in the direction of a good tech forum I would greatly appreciate it.

Also I think the virus is causing my comp to have major slow down and crashes.

Try Avira. It's the best service I found for free and with simple keystrokes in your registry, you can get rid of those annoying pop-up ads it tries to make you suffer through.

If that doesn't help, back up your music and reformat.

put your computer in safe mode, (power on your pc and spam F8 a menu will pop up select safe mode) then run the same scans, also maybe Spybot.

also might i recommend you try Avast?

Also what browser are you using? If its Internet Explorer id highly recommend Firefox or Google Chrome.

Oh! dont forget to try using "Hijack This"

Try Avira:

and/or Avast:

Reformatting is extreme. Try and identify when you downloaded the virus, then try to use system restore to go back to a date before that. That way you won't lose all of your files.

If that is unsatisfactory, then reformat.

hehe I always say if your system is that far gone to need system restore its too far gone to bother, especially last time I used it... it killed Windows 7

Well I tried to download avast and I crashed. I restarted and tried another Norton scan in safe mode....and I crashed again. However one of my Norton scans from yesterday did find a few viruses before crashing that all date back to when I first started having problems (4/22). Unfortunately that happens to be the same date as the latest system restore point available. So to put it in the best technical terms I know of, I think I'm pretty much fucked. I was planning on buying a new harddrive anyways. 160gb doesn't cut it when empire total war and napoleon total war alone take up 35gb. Thanks for the help anyways.
