Think I fixed it, microsoft security essentials randomly updated their definitions overnight as I was running a full scan after deciding to go to sleep, and picked up the last of it. Don't seem to be getting any more redirects. I managed to remove the first one manually by deleting the file as listed by the program from the system32 folder rather than simple clicking remove on the anti virus interface since apparently the virus detected that and recreates itself whenever you try it. Deleting it manually worked though.

Apparently I had like 2 different viruses that each triggered their own redirect, which explains why I still had problems after removing the first one. The second one was this, updated this morning. Removed it within the program and it seemed to fix it:

anyways is there any way I can check what runs on startup so nothing comes back if I restart my computer? I'm also afraid that the viruses might have installed a keylogger and other things that aren't getting detected.
