Google Redirect Virus. goes by Happili How do I get rid of it?

<< < (2/2)

techlike99:
It's a system wide infection caused by a rootkit from the ZAccess family, most likely the ZAccess.fxd variant. It doesn't matter which browser you use. Too bad Avast doesn't have a fix for it since it's one of the most wide spread infections at the moment. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

First, use TDSS or ZeroAccess removal tools to remove the core components of this infection. TDSSKilkler is probably the most popular one but sometimes it fails to remove malicious memory modules, so the infection comes back once you restart your PC.

essexboy:
aswMBR and Avast 7 can cure some of the zero access variants, but bear in mind they are changing daily if not hourly

Also some variants have a protection driver, again aswMBR will remove that but TDSSKiller will not

Generally a manual removal is required

So a look at the logs would help

wcordova:
So...the question issue remains unsolved?....does Avast have an update or a tool to completely remove this virus?...is there a step-by-step way to remove it? Any assistance is appreciated.

does this mean you are infected?
if so, see reply #1 here......start your own topic and attach the logs requested

essexboy:
Generally Happi can be associated with an apparent legitimate file in addition to the MBR infection
