  This is Windows typically fake video codec virus (see more here).
  
  This one is very like Windows fake codec virus, except that it doesn't advertise fake antivirus/antispyware.
  
  But it does re-redirect your websites to some other weird websites... like some of Windows fake codecs...
  
  No fake antivirus/antispyware, but it comes with another capability to schedule tasks, to see if anybody has discovered that their settings has been changed and revert back EVERY MINUTE.
  
  As for removal... please don't follow the article lest you remove all scheduled tasks there... (I think?)
