Dear sir or madam,
This afternoon, I wanted to Google something. But as soon as I press the Enter, I was in a totally different website - search-7.com. Then I used my phone to Google the solution and removed a suspicious software. I haven't done other things yet, but now I can actually visit Google. Even so, I'm not sure whether my computer was still under hijacking. If you know something about this, I hope you could give me some advice. I'd be appreciated if you could offer me a helping hand. Looking forward to you reply. Thanks again.
Yours,
Tao Jin​

Hmmm... In fact, I have removed the harmful software and now I can visit Google directly. But still thanks for your answer. I've got another question, which is related to the harmful software I installed, whether Televzr carries Search-7 Hijacking virus?

Hi,

360 Security. It's not recommanded. Read about it.

===


I installed, whether Televzr carries Search-7 Hijacking virus?

Send the program file to VirusTotal for inspection.

Follow the directives on this page.

I would be in a better situation to help if I could at least see the FRST.TXT and Addition.txt logs that will be created when you execute the Farbar Scanner program.
