It is a real mother to get rid of. Most evidence points to Facebook as the primary carrier.

I got a redirector last night - still don’t know how to fix it. Only occurs in IE8, not Firefox, and it sends any link and/or typed url to images.google.com/some variation of my link.
Really annoying.

Had a couple of “fixes” that only worked for one day. One was manually blocking the sites as most were junk anyway. The redirector just went to new URLs. The other was to add a pre made host file. Blocked the redirector about 80% of the time but also blocked ads that were needed on many sites.

No problem here. Got a Mac. I love those. Though I'm really a Whopper man at heart.

You have already been advised to get Malwarebytes and that is the only way to clean it that I know.
As a PC Tech I have had to fight this numerous times and find that the best way is to follow these steps.
1) go to another computer and download Malwarebytes to a flash drive.
2) download superantispyware to the same flash drive.
BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE SITE THAT APPEAR LIKE THE TWO I LISTED BUT ARE FAKES!
Be sure and download the free editions.
3) Start the infected computer in safe mode, load Malwarebytes and run a full scan.
4) After the full scan restart the computer in regular mode and update Malwarebytes and run another full scan.
5) Install, update, and run a full scan from superantispyware.
6) Update each program weekly and run quick scans.
GOOD LUCK!

I got it a couple months ago on my Lenovo laptop. I just reverted to the last backup (automatically taken a couple days before) and in two hours was back in business.
I then made sure all patches were updated and figured out why my firewall was not running and fixed it. I was slacking off before that.

got to get the windows updates loaded somehow. they will block the redirector.
see #27
I have used those 2 PLUS loaded windows security essentials on the flash and that (or windows defender) has cleared the deck. once you get the win updates done you might be okay.
