HELP!! Google redirect Virus

Sounds like a DNS hijack which also affects the Hosts file.

Let's flush your DNS cache and restore MS's original Hosts file.

Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0

Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click on the .bat to run as Administrator. Your computer will reboot itself.

Now, run a "complete" scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

Thanks

Thank Petey7 for the link. I was unable to run malwarebytes.exe.
Now I can't even play a DVD because the volume does not work. I have gone into control panel and all the settings are fine, but it is not on the taskbar and there is no volume on anything - I think time to wipe the drive and start over. If there are more suggestions I open to try anything. What's the worst that can happen?
I appreciate all of your help.

Cece, have you attempted the steps we have suggested?
I am familiar with this virus, the steps we have described using safe boot prevents the virus from blocking .exe. files. After launching mbam successfully in safe boot we were able to eradicate the virus.
Which ever way you choose to go we wish you success.
