Every time I use Google, I get to the the search consequences page, and the links direct me to some other website.
Also, my anti-spyware programs won’t open.
I ran Avast and it didn’t pick up a virus; what do I do?

First of all not all virus scanners are made equal and sometimes one brand like Avast will miss what another brand like AVG will pick up.
You should try to scan with a different virus scanner if believed something is being missed. Just don’t do have two installed at the same time because they can cause conflicts.
Same thing with spyware scanners but you don’t have to agonize about conflicts with them.
You sound like you are infected with malware really terrible so I recommend you format and reinstall Windows. This will take care of any viruses, trojans, and spyware that are not being detected by your scanners. Just be sure you don’t back up any infected files when you go to back up your data.

whoa whoa whoa, don’t reinstall windows yet!
try this first, you will need to boot to safe mode, you force even have to use another computer first.
here is a guide for removing nearly all viruses and spyware. turn off your current anti-virus and anti-spyware as it can conflict with these tools. turn them back on immediately after you have removed all the threats.
also be sure to yahoo or Google the tools that are being suggested on the Internet. you never know if some one is trying to be malicious.
if you are having distress getting into windows follow this:
start in safe mode to avoid the blue screen locking
(press f8 repeatedly throughout the whole boot process, choose safe mode with networking) here is a tutorial on how to boot to safe mode:

on every restart after step 1 try to go into normal mode. if it still wont boot normal, continue in safe mode. if it wont boot in safe mode you will need to try to repair with the recovery disk.
If you can get into window fine start here:
1)download malwarebytes antimalware install and update ( if you cant install or update use another computer to download it and the latest rule sets, just Google manual update malwarebytes for the latest definitions)
2) scan with malwarebytes, delete everything, reboot and scan again.
do this in anticipation of there are no more infections or just the same ones.
3) download superantispyware, install and update. you force have to use another computer again (depends on the infections that is left if any) let this program restart your computer and scan on restart.
4) scan with superantispyware, repeating the same process in step 2
5) if there are still infections on your computer, download and install ccleaner run this and follow the instructions. repeating the same process as in step 2
6) if problems persist, download combofix install and run. let it fix what ever it wants.
7) if you have the a variant with vundo in it (common with anti-virus 2009) download vundofix scan with it, delete everything it finds, and scan again with malwarebytes and superantispyware
lastly scan with an on-line free virus scanner. i recommend bitdefender but i will list others as well in the sources.
this should remove the infection. if not call a local specialist. they tend to have a lot more experience then the geek squad, charge less, try to find one who doesn’t charge if they cant fix it.
after everything is removed, un-install everything except malwarebytes, this is a fantastic free program to keep and scan regularly with
everything on here is free and highly effectual
