ohh man i know exactly what you are talking about... but it isnt by google. it is from a site that you are taken to if you mispell google.com in a certain way. to get rid of it try using system restore.

No...google is not a virus...neither is their toolbar.
Any virus you have that says their name is just because the writers put it there. They could have just as easily put your own name on it.
Assuming that you DO have an antivirus program, schedule a boot time scan. I would also suggest installing superantispyware and ccleaner from their .com websites. Do complete scans and quarantene anything it finds. You may want to research any specific virus names for manual removal instructions if it comes to that.
Lastly, winpatrol is great for monitoring all the changes to your system like your home page and startup files. If it is changed, you have to give permission to keep it that way.
If you dont have an antivirus, I highly recommend Avast. Its free.
DO ALL UPDATES ON WINDOWS AND ALL PROGRAMS!!!
