Google to warn over two million user that their computer has been infected with some kind of malware that found its way into the user’s computer and disturb the Google searches.
A fake anti-virus is there on internet and when it is installed it hijacks the Google searches and redirects users to the different websites.
According to the company when this virus is in the computer and user made the search on Google then it is controlled by the cyber criminals who then control the traffic.
Google security engineer Damian Menscher said: “The malware appears to have gotten onto users’ computers from one of roughly a hundred variants of fake anti-virus, or ‘fake AV’ software that has been in circulation for a while.”
Google is showing a yellow strip onto the searches that user made that notify the user that his or her computer is infected with the virus.
