    Hello, I am experiencing the same issue, let me add some details so we can get over with it:

    Accessing google.com shows you a portuguese text (with a text from google brasil) saying  that you need to upgrade java, and provides a link for it,, the ´virus´redirects you here -http://77.240.96.201/install_Java7x32ax_mssd_aih.scr-,

    In my case - 3 pcs on the same network, 2 of them wireless, all have the same problem, also google.com.ar (my country) gives a connection error.

    I do not think this is a local virus (i mean, running from a pc) because ive tried google.com with my mobile (android, instaled day before an never connected) and shows the the same ´brazilian page´. also Ive tried with all the other pcs turned off, in case one of them would be acting as a server for the virus.

    Also Ive run some antivirus and malware bits in 2 pcs and nothing.


    At first I thought it was some kind of man in the middle attack, someone sniffing my network, so ive changed all passwds of modem, router and reset connection to no avail. 

    Currently I dont really know what to think

    some ideas? Ill keep looking for a solution, if I find something Ill report
    Thanks

    Edit: Using a a webproxy (hidemyass.com) seems to let me use google.
    Its a issue that works with your ipadress? or maybe a script undetectable by antivirus?

    also: some guy uploaded a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcXPet2zL_o

    ComboFix scan
     
    Please download ComboFix by sUBs
    From BleepingComputer.com
     
    Please save the file to your Desktop.
     
    Important information about ComboFix
     

    After the download:
    • Close any open browsers.
    • Very Important: Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results". Please visit here if you don't know how.
    • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
    • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until ComboFix has completely finished.
    • If there is no Internet connection after running ComboFix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
    Running ComboFix:
    • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • When ComboFix finishes, it will produce a report for you.
    • Please post the report, which will launch or be found at "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" in your next reply.
    Troubleshooting ComboFix
     
    Safe Mode:
     
    If you still cannot get ComboFix to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.
     
    (To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows
    logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode.")
     
    Re-downloading:
     
    If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but try to download it again, except name
    ComboFix.exe to iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, or winlogon.exe.
     
    Malware is known for blocking all "user" processes, except for its whitelist of system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe.
     
    NOTE: If you encounter a message "illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion" and no programs will run - please just reboot and that will resolve that error.
