I am running xp service pak 3. I have the redirect virus which directs me
to unwanted web sites. To get rid of it I run AVG, malwalre bytes,
kaspersky tdss killer. When I run these programs sometimes trojans are
found and removed and other times nothing is found. I think I am of rid of
the redirect, then it comes back on my next search. I also now have a
problem with ms security essentials. It will no longer open or run and I
can not download a new version. MSE used to work and now it doesn't. I
wonder if this is related to the redirect virus. I have purchased a new
computer and the easy tranfer cable but have been holding off the transfer
because of the problems I am having on my old pc.

There is no such thing as a "redirect virus".

There may be a trojan that re-directs you browsing but its not called a "redirect virus"
and as a trojan it has its own name. It could be that a legitimate OS file was
trojanized.

PUH-LEAZE take your control-freak compulsion, fold it into sharp corners and
