Remove google redirect to IX-Find.com (Remove koobface and podmena.sys trojans)

Myantispyware team June 12, 2009     5 Comments    

In the past few days, many Myspace and Facebook users spammed with a message that have a link to a video. After clicking on this link a site opens that asking user to download an adobe flash update, which in reality is a malware (koobface and podmena trojans). When these Trojans are installed, computer works slowly, shows pop ups and program errors. Also, when attempting google searches, browser redirects to a web site ix-find.com. Use the free removal instructions below in order to remove ix-find.com malware and any other trojan infections.

    Wow, i had gotten this from facebook, and i used spyware doctor with antivirus to get rid of it. I thought it was gone, but my google searches kept getting diverted to the virus’s desired site (it took quite some trickery to get here). So, after downloading this and running a quick scan, it found several infections spyware doctor missed. now, I dont get redirected anymore!
