Was having this problem but only on Firefox. From what I've read on the net it seems this can happen when you have an older version of java that is exploited resulting in this malware. Various scans did not resolve problem. IE was working fine so I unistalled Firefox, restarted, re-installed Firefox and problem was solved.
I spent many hours and software fixes in an attempt to remove the VERY annoying and disruptive google redirect virus. I stumbled across a forum where a user was raving about Hitman Pro, available from cnet. Hitman Pro is definitely the way to go! So many other failed efforts required regedit, reinstalls etc. After installing the program, scanning, following the directions, restarting the pc several times, and testing the search engines successfully, it all seemed too easy after first installing 10 other spyware programs that all failed. However, it worked so I recommend trying it for your redirections woes. Hemmo.
Why don't you try this out.
1. Check DNS settings and run "ipconfig /flushdns" command.
2. Reset Internet Browser settings.
3. Delete Temporary Internet & Windows Files
4. Disable all suspicious BHO (browser helper object) entry using Autoruns ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ )
5. Restart computer.

It's a virus - this site has instructions for removal:

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
Anyone got this fixed yet? Have used S&D, AdWare, MalWareBytes, NOD32, CCleaner, SmitFraudFix.....Non have fixed it. Only thing that helps so far is NoScript of which is an add-on for Firefox.
This isn't a virus or any hackers trying to get into your computer. If you type in google.com and it redirects you to google.es, you should see a link on the google page right below the search bar that says "Go To Google.com." All you have to do is click on that link and it will automatically switch your default search engine back to google.com.
Had the same problem with facebook leading to myspace. I used spyware - search & destroy (immunize funtion) and spywareblaster. I don't think it's as much as a virus or trojan as wrong entries within your browser since these programmes use browser functions to block malicious websites etc. by writing them into a file with blocked hosts. I take it that this file was damaged in some way, leading to a redirect. After running those programmes everything worked fine again.
Good luck!
