Video COP is getting annoying please help!?

Question

When I am online I will randomly be redirected to the Video COP website and I don't know what to do about it. I ran my virus scan and it found nothing, I didn't download anything new to delete/uninstall, and I don't know what to do. Can anybody help?

Answer 1

Try running Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php It sounds like a hijack virus.

Answer 2

All three of our home computers (windows 7 starter, windows 7, mac os x) have the same problem! I've tried everything to get rid of it. All the following solutions did nothing:
-Malware bites.
-Ad-aware.
-AVG Free ed.
-Trend Micro Registered
-Hitman Antivirus
-Googleredfix.exe

The only thing that did help -- but is not a final solution -- is to install the FireFox addon no-script. It will prevent the redirect from happening, but won't remove the problem completely. You will at least be able to browse.

More information about the virus -- it seems to trigger on sites that use google-analytics. I think it must change where google-analytics directs you to.
