Looking for some help here dk please, my dell laptop seems to be infected by some virus, it goes on to the google home page but when i search on google i keep getting directed to all sorts of crap sites, i have done system restore with no luck, malaware bytes, trojan vundo ect but all come back clear of infection but theres something there somewhere on it, any help would be great. :stupid:

looks like you have a real nasty
first turn off system restore as it could also be in there and replicating itself.
malware bytes and superantispyware are 2 of the best, try running them in safe mode.
you could also try the free trial version of Hitman pro
if you do manage to get rid of it don't forget to turn system restore back on
