(got rid of the redirecting!!!! ) (here’s the solution)
hai guys -
i HAD the EXACT problem and it was driving me mad! seriously i was ready to kill somebody. and the redirecting was only happening to my work/website and the site to log into for me to update it – how f*cking convenient….
this is how i got that crap off my laptop (vista 32 bit w/firefox)

1.get the latest version of malwarebytes – perform a quick scan in regular operating settings

2. re-run malwarebytes in SAFEMODE – it will find the redirecting bastard trojans

3. download and install HITMAN PRO 3.5

4. turn off any anti virus programs and make sure youre not online

5. run HITMAN PRO 3.5

within 5 minutes it discovered another error on my system (a file called magic “something”) it said there was something funny about the license authenticity –

i deleted that issue – rebooted made sure norton 360 was back on. got back online, went straight for my website – loaded without a hitch!!!! now my computer is back to normal!!!

no more of that redirecting crap! and now im clear to view and update my website.

i stand by this procedure – i was ready to throw my computer against the wall if i saw another blank page trying to redirect me to nowhere.

im not a computer guy by any stretch – i just needed this thing fixed and as i said – i stand by this procedure 100% – it worked for me (friday march 15, 2010 1:19am)

i hope it works for you!

let me know

Hi, Hitman Pro 3.5 removes this virus in just a few minutes. Does a cloud scan so the virus cannot block it. I had a couple of problems which it identified as Unsafe DNS Server Address, and atapi.sys rootkit, and which it resolved. After reboot everything was fine. As a temporary work-around if this doesn’t work you can use dogpile for searches as even though this uses Google, Yahooo, Bing for searches it doesn’t trigger the redirect.
Hope this helps

Lance,
Thank you so much! I have been fighting with this thing for 2 days. The first time I used Hitman Pro it didn’t find it. I had to rename my regedt32 file and then run Hitman Pro.

I have been trying to get rid of go.google redirect for five days now and nothing has worked. I just tried Hitman Pro 3.5 and it’s finally gone. I feel like I have just waged battle and won. I too didn’t have TDSS in my drivers and malewarebytes and combofix would not run because the virus was blocking both of them.

Thank you Lance!!

Thanks, Lance. Free at last, I’m free at last!!!!

Been obsessing over this bug for days. It slipped right by all
my spyware. Malwarebytes couldnt help, I didnt have that TDSS
thingy, and Pareto did nothing.

The Hitman Pro 3.5 was the only spyware to even see the infection! I think I all clear.

Thanks again, Lance.

Most current search engine (Google) redirections are currently caused by an infected atapi.sys file (TDL3 rootkit). You can try Hitman Pro 3.5 which is capable of finding and removing the infection in just a few minutes.
If Hitman Pro asks for a Product Key just click on the ‘Activate free license’ to get rid of the infection for free.

Atm, i too am attempting to remove this virus, but the reason why tdssserv.sys might not be showing is because what i’ve bene reading from other websites and what someone even mentioned here is that this type of virus switches its file name, and certain ones do it everytime you reboot. So if you do remove it make sure to use your other antiviral progs to make sure its gone and hopefully this will work for me after i use trojane remover O.o

i really dont know why everyone is talking about “TDSSserv.sys”
i am having massive problems with redirection from go.google.com and it has nothing to do with TDSSserv.sys. i dont even HAVE TDSSserv.sys on my system, i’ve checked and double checked the hidden drivers and the registry, and every other place i could think of but it isnt on my system. and the advice to get pareto just seems like a scam because i finally got pareto installed and it did nothing except prompt me to spend more money on registering the product and do a lot of upgrades.

i’m still looking for a fix, but everyone is hung up on TDSSserv.sys. superantispyware doesnt help. malwarebyte doesnt help. i used iobit360 but it only removed spyware. ive tried just about everything else (including new firewalls and scanners to trace what’s going on) but nothing has helped me get a handle on it, google searches still get redirected unless you type it directly into the address window.
