Searchclick8?

Post by Fluffy_the_ic »

So yesterday I tried googling something. When I tried clicking on the links in google, instead of going to whatever the link led to, I was taken to some weird redirect site called searchclick8. I tried to do a Malwarebyte's scan, and it fixed it for around 15 minutes. It's back again, and I was wondering how it keeps coming back and how I can get rid of it for good.

Use system restore to go back to a few days before the problem (which will kill off registry entries telling the malware to run) then run your anti-virus software.
