I actually just went through this. It's a tough one! If you google "google redirect virus" you'll find more in, but please note a number of the pages that come up are also fraudulent!
Maywarebytes is a fantastic program and I would recommend it to any PC user. Try it first and see if it works, but it often won't with a redirect virus. Depending on the exact virus, you may be able to make manual changes to your registry to fix it. As you say, it will keep getting worse if not fixed.
The are a number of anti-virus type sites that can walk you through removing pretty much anything. Bleeping Computer is a good one.
What you'll ultimately probably have to use if you don't get lucky with Malwarebytes is a program called ComboFix. It carries some risks, but you may just want to go ahead and run it and hopefully get things cleared up. Run Malwarebytes afterwards to mop everything up.
Almost enough to make you buy a Mac, right :)
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
Craig
