Hi,
I was recently browsing on Internet Explorer 8 when I was suddenly being redirected from search engines to obvious malware sites. Looked it up and it's definitely the "Happili virus" as it's colloquially known. I uninstalled IE8 and installed Firefox, and while the problem perisisted, when I disabled the extension Performance Cache 1.0 all redirects immediately ceased. Moreover, I installed IE9 and have had no redirect issues whatsoever. Due to this, I believe my problem is less severe than a clean-install-requiring rootkit, but I don't wish to take any chances and came here to get the right steps to putting this away for good.
