My google Chrome browser has been hijacked by a website called tradeexchange.com. It prevents me from accessing many websites by redirecting me constantly. I believe it is also causing my os to run more slowly. When I ran the full scan with MS safety scanner, it did not find this malware, nor did Trend Micro housecall scan. Please tell me how to remove this from my system!
I just purchased this HP desktop computer, and then downloaded different browsers – Google Chrome and Firefox. But tradeexchange.com somehow infected them. What can I do to remove it from my computer? I have AVG Security but it did not pick up the virus. It is redirecting me all the time i open web browser. help please!
