If your computer is having issues with google search redirect, chances are you get what many refer to as the google redirect virus. Symptoms of the google search redirects include being redirected to a different website when you select a link from the google search result.
Because many google redirect malware infected computers land in the website mypinkelephantz.com, the google redirect problem is also described as the mypinkelephantz.com redirect virus. (Please do not visit this website, WOT (Web of Trust) categorizes this site as risky). Some internet searchers are also experiencing similar yahoo search redirect problems.

I just ran the GooredFix problem which was extremely simple and then let it reboot. Problem 100% Fixed!!! Thank You very very much for pointing out this solution – now less time wasted on a daily basis. Even my McAfee Virus program looks like it is downloading updates – something that hasn’t happened since July 22, 2009.
