Google Redirect Virus

I got the Google Redirect Virus at approximately 8:00 PM EDT on 10/6/12 while browsing Google images for the search term “glowing orb”  from clicking on the image in this screenshot at this URL:

(Seems ironic:  Choose whether or not to click my image for a larger view of the infected image.)

This seems like a reasonable description on Squidoo of what happened.

I signed up for Norton and I observed Brian painstakingly fix it in under 30 minutes.
