Anybody got any idea how to get rid of this virus. I've googled it and tried using various malware and virus removal programmes but still no joy. I am using xp and it seems to be the Chrome browser that is infected.

Just removed the same redirect (Qone8 and Aartemis).
Norton does not help. You can easily remove it manually using this directions + AdwCleaner (free)
