Google Redirect Virus

Well, I seem to have the virus. I don't know how I got it, or how to fix it. I've tried Malware bytes, combofix, Avast...nothing is working. Does anybody know how to fix this? Also note: For some reason it lets me on these forums.

Basically, the virus sometimes makes it so when you try to go on a website, it redirects you to an add site, thus, you are not able to go on the site you want.

Thats not a virus, it's an ad thing we use for external links. You just gotta wait like 5 seconds and then press the "Skip Ad" button on the top right of the screen.

I understand this, but is it supposed to do it for other sites too?

Ad.fly.
Some retarded shit RoflWaffle probably came up with that no one likes.
It means that if you go from this site, to another you will most likely end up in this shitty advertisement. You can either wait 5 seconds and press "Skip ad" to continue to the site, or you can remove the first part in your URL box saying ad.fly/6827682678 or something along those lines.
It should only happen if you go FROM this site TO another. So not from another site to another site etc.

No, do you perhaps have a browser extension that is putting ads on your pages? Any ads that Catalyst-Gaming uses are limited to our website.

I have had the google redirect virus, a really bad and frustrating virus. whenever you use google or try to connect to a webpage it takes you to other sites. I don't think he is referring to adfly because adfly is not that pesky.
