Its not a virus i know that much. I ran Spybot S&D, got rid of any viruses it got and Mallware Bytes, again, removed everything. Even ran McAfee and got rid of whatever. But each time i run the scan on Spybot S&D it finds site that redirect me. I press fix selected items but it responds by saying "cannot access hosts file. Access is denied" I tried to untick the "protect hosts file form hijackers" in IE tweaks but keeps getting checked. On top of that the Hosts file is missing. Any help? :confused:

Hi Insanity, With Spybot search and destroy when you start it you need to right click on it & select "Run as Administrator" to apply any changes

Try booting into safe mode to access the hosts file. Once you access it, make sure there are no redirections in it pointing a host to another IP.

If you may, Could you be a little bit more specific about your Google Redirection?
