Believe I have a redirect virus. Need help/advice
Two days ago I noticed while going to to some websites like Stubhub that it would open the website, however, it would also open up another firefox window with a similar website that was not Stubhub, and the actual stubhub website would not work properly. I did some research and it seems to most closely match a redirect virus, which sounds pretty awful. I image my computer everyday with Marcium and restored twice, from 11/17 and 11/4 image, however, the problem still exists. From what I have read this virus digs itself into the MBR which is why my restore points might not be effective.
Can anyone tell me if this sounds like a redirect virus and also an effective way to remove it? I really would rather not re-image my whole computer and start from scratch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
