How to Resolve 404 Nginx Google Redirection Error

The Google 404 Error nginx is one of the worst errors that can occur on your computer. This error basically prevents you from opening anything starting with www.google.com or in some cases other websites as well. In most cases users start getting redirected towards other random sites in the beginning and after a while they can’t access Google or other websites and get a 404 error with nginx written below it.

This error is mainly occurred because of a malware. The malware basically changes your host files in your C Drive and makes them either inaccessible or read only. Most of the times your antivirus won’t be able to detect it so it is a lot harder to fix this problem.

Here are a few methods that are known to solve this issue for almost everyone. First try the Method 1, if that doesn’t solve the problem then try Method 2. If the problem is still there then try Method 3 or 4.

Method 1: Use Kaspersky-TDSSKIller and flush.bat

1. Download Kaspersky-TDSSKiller Rootkit Malware Remover from here install it, run it and fix the files it finds. DO NOT REBOOT.

popd

ipconfig /release
