Will the google redirect virus affect my laptop?

[Ve]

So I had the Google redirect virus for a while and I've been doing a lot of research on Google from my phone and I can't find any solutions that I'm comfortable with. All the programs recommended usually end up with someone complaining about their computer getting really messed up afterwards. I don't I don't mind not being able to use Google because now I could just go on my phone so it's really no big deal but I'm worried that this virus could affect other things that I do like just go on Facebook or like playing some games like Minecraft, sims, or just writing documents. I haven't had problems with them so far and I've had this virus for a while but I'm worried that it could affect my computer. I have a Gateway computer that is about three years old. So what do you guys think?
