If you cant find it right click blank space in the folder and click show hidden files. After finding hosts move into into the recycle bin and delete it. Create a blank text file called hosts and hidden it ( right click prosperity.) thumbs up
For all of with this whole #Copyright (c) thing, don't delete everything, just delete everything thats under "# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol." Like just all the adresses, not the entire paragraph thingymagig. And then save. That worked for me.
Why The FU** do people make this shitty virus for, its so annoying. so thansk for the video dude, managed to get rid of it on my computer. but for some reason my dads computer wouldnt do this? dont know why, then he said this did the trick the-computer-techie.blogspot.com/2011/09/google-redirect-virus-removal-tool-that.html
i watched this vid like a week ago and done everything the same as you and it worked fine but i thought id delete the hosts file to see if that would stop that altogether and i have the redirection back and there is no new hosts file:( do you know what i have to do now????
wtf i cant find system32 i know its on my pc because i can open cmd and i know that is in the file and i have tryed a file search for system32 but it says file/folder not found
Guys here is the removal for the redirect virus. You need to check your Host file and lmHost file. You will see THOUSANDS of domain entries in their. Next open the registry and go to these 2 hives. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains delete everything except microsoft. Also go to the Key P3P 2 folders up and delete the history. You will see THOUSANDS of entries! If you can replace the entire KEY on both Hives!!!
Just a note. A lot of redirect issues won't be resolved by clearing the HOSTS file and removing viral traces. Many redirects are done by a virus changing your router's DNS settings from automatic to manual. Make sure to check that as well.
So I did it to mine as well, but when I clicked on the notepad it has all these stuff about a paragraph long... saying "# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp." and etc...? I deleted it, saved it, and came back it was still there? What do I do now?
@DailyBread2007 Thats exactly what happened to me! I even used the default windows 7 scanner to scan and delete and found a trojan twice and yet it still redirects, i scan again and says its fine...wtf?
@DailyBread2007 My HP laptop has the same message i wonder if it may be important. Anyways, i tried saving the new blank message but it would not let me saying: Cannot create the hosts file make sure the path and file name correct. And well i made sure so everything is correct its just acting weird much. Help -CHeWiiT
I FUCKING HATE MY MOTHERFUCKING COMPUTER I cant change the default program to open things up THEREFORE I cant change what opens up the hosts file FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, my computer used to redirect if i go into youtube or wikipedia and things like that but it doesnt anymore, but it still does it for some porn sites?!!!?
hay wen i opend hosts it said do not touch this file,changing it will cause serios damage to your system. will it? will the trojan attack my comp if i do?
This actually worked. I've tried Norton Power Eraser and all sorts of others things. Thank you so much. I will sub . Wish you the best. ...like the accent.
@CHeWiit i tried it but it is telling me cannot createC:\Windows\system32\etc\hosts. Make sure the path or file name is correct? PLEASE HELP. Thanks!
Thanks! You saved me hours of frustration. I first got tricked by the ThinkPoint spyware and finally removed it, to only be faced with redirection every time I clicked onto a website.

1. drag ur hosts file to desktop

3. save the file.
4. drag that hosts file at desktop (the one u modify) and replace the hosts file in etc folder.
5. click this comment so people can see!
