What to do if my computer is infected by a virus or a malware?

I can't use Google search results right now. The actual searches return results that look valid, but whenever I click on a link, I'm redirected to strange sites. I believe I'm being affected by a virus that has something to do with the string "otnggrneohai."

I was running Windows 7 Home with Microsoft Security Essentials, but Microsoft Security Essentials has been deleted. I did not delete it myself.

Here is the screen shot, I did a search test in google videos:

You must have malware.

Install and update some AV software and run a full scan. Uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Run Spybot Search & Destroy.

I would suggest that unless you have a compelling reason not to you should BACK UP YOUR DATA, reformat your hard drive (or buy a new one) and then reinstall Windows and all your applications. If antivirus vendors don't know about whatever malware this is, you'll have a very hard time removing it without the reinstall.

The alternative would be to call Microsoft support (since you're using their antivirus/antimalware protection) and try to get them to help you diagnose and fix the problem. Since you aren't a major corporate customer or MVP, don't hold your breath while waiting for them to get back to you.
