Google Webhp Virus is a browser redirection infection that forcefully redirects you to fake Google website at Google.com/WebHP. You get redirected to this fake website via such malevolent search engines as searchou.com or searchab.com. When you are infected Google Webhp Virus, the infection basically takes over your browser by randomly opening new browser windows and tabs to load Google.com/WebHP home page. The infection disables various built-in security measures and exposes your computer to a list of dangerous malware, because Google Webhp Virus constantly displays pop-ups and fake error messages.
