    You have a rootkit, use TDSSKiller to remove it, it’s a small executable, no need to install, just download, and double click the icon, the scanner will appear, and run scan, delete anything it finds.
    Here is the direct link:

    If TDSSKiller does not find anything you will have to install these programs one at a time untill one finds it. Scroll down to the programs:

    Sounds like you have the google redirect virus. To get rid of it, you need to fix the settings, options and Windows files which have been infected & changed. This can’t be done by using a standard anti-virus program – that’s why it is such a problem to get rid of – it needs specialist software or specific tutorials to do it. I tried following instructions and kept getting lost, so eventually I used the program below, & it worked great. Hope this helps.
