Tough Google redirect virus.

Hi, My name is Chris and last night I found that I had been infected by what I believe is the google redirect virus. I spent most of the night scanning, rebooting, and researching solutions to no avail. I've downloaded and run Malwarebytes, tdsskiller, as well as a couple of others. Since running tdsskiller I haven't had the redirecting issue, but I'm still concerned that I may still be infected. Thanks in advance for the help!
