Killing off Result5.Google
I had to tackle result5.google this past weekend, and what I thought at first was a virus was actually a re-direct to Russia. One of my friends was having problems searching, as his results were constantly being re-directed to advertising pages. He was running a small three computer network in his home with a Linksys wireless router.
Trying to access or download any type of anti-virus program was fruitless and scans with Microsoft Security Essentials and StopZilla turned up other viruses, but didn’t kill off result5.google. Neither did Malwarebytes.
Searches on Bing and Google returned plenty of posts on how to eliminate this problem, but only one helped – and that was to log onto the router, correct the DNS and change the password, then empty his computers’ history, temp pages and cookies. Seems his router’s DNS had been changed to 213.109.67.169 and 213.109.73.170, which a traceroute revealed pointed to Eastern Europe. When he installed his network, he neglected to change the router’s password from the vendor’s default, leaving himself open to exploits.
Typically, routers are marked with their serial numbers and MAC addresses, and from there you can search the vendors online support pages to determine its IP and how to log on to the router to change its password and settings.
I hope this helps anyone out there who is experiencing this problem.

Would love to know if this worked for you. I know it was a huge relief when this worked for my friend.
Found this post typing in ‘domains’ on Google. I was looking for some ideas for a post, and I basically wrote a short “summary” of your post. Don’t worry – I gave you credit with a link
Hey, good post! Hope you don’t mind, but I sort of put a short summary up on my blog – along with a link to this post for credit

Have you ever regarded as adding far more videos for your blog posts to retain the readers even more entertained? I mean I just understand via the entire post of yours and it was quite good but since I’m far more of the visual learner,I discovered that to be extra valuable good let me know how it turns out!
I enjoy what you guys are generally up too. This kind of clever function and reporting! Retain up the great functions guys I’ve added you men to my blogroll. This can be a excellent article thanks for sharing this useful information.. I will visit your weblog regularly for some most recent post.
What a great blog. I spend days on the internet reading blogs, about tons of different subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever created your website and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an amazing post. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only a few posses and frankly you have it. The combination of informative and quality content is definitely extremely rare with the large amount of blogs on the internet.
