Title: Google links redirect me, AND "google installer has stopped working"
Post by: keyboard123 on January 19, 2010, 07:00:24 PM: I have two problems, both potentially from the same virus. First of all, every time I try to click on a google link, I get redirected to a random site. I have to click the link several times before it goes to the correct site without redirecting.
Secondly, a box keeps popping up that says "Google installer has stopped working" ... I don't know what this is, but it pops up every few minutes.

Any help is much appreciated!

And I went to the link above to try and fix some of my issues, and the first thing that happened after I ran hijackthis was I lost my printer, so I now have to try and get that straightened out. Getting a bit frustrated.
