I just posted this in another thread for the zero access rootkit. This rootkit had me stumped for a while but got it out. The google redirects are a symptom of zero access rootkit. I don't usually recommend anything from Symantec but search Google for fixtdss not tdsskiller run that it should get you back up and running

I googled fixtdss, and 8 out of the first 10 results were forum posts from end users (on various computer forums) complaining that fixtdss had nuked their systems. If that's fixtdss's track record, I'll decline using it. Combofix has nuked systems before too, but Combofix at least is meant for techs, not end users. If you can show me that these end users did something with fixtdss that was stupid and inadvertently nuked their boxes, I may reconsider.
