How to Remove Waiting for Google-Analytics.Com to Redirect
The Google Redirect virus is a browser hijack virus that alters the DNS settings on your computer and can also settle in your router, preventing you from updating your anti-virus software. Not affiliated with Google, the Google Redirect virus constantly redirects your browser to sites such as go.google.com or google-analytics.com. The Google Redirect virus can also record keystrokes, and it reduces your overall computer security, exposing your system to other threats. Removing it requires disabling a driver entry in the Device Manager, then resetting your router settings and running your computer's anti-virus software.
