how big of usb? 16gb?

8gb for windows
avira will fit on 1gb i think

just get a 8gb to be safe

seems i fixed it by following this website..

https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-browser-redirect-virus/#rkill

i am able to download stuff now on chrome, and so far i havent been redirected to other random websites

hmmm still getting redirected sometimes.. but the malware program i downloaded, blocks it and says "this program has blocked this blah blah"

back up data and format or get expert help.
Your describing a browser hijacker and some can be very hard to get rid of.
Most scan should be run in safe mode which i bet you didn't do or teh guide didn't tell you to do.

King is right these types of attacks lay embedded, sometimes in your local temp, or as a toolbar.. Many other forms, the best and safest way is to back up and reimage, os reinstall and start over.

bacvk up data? like put all important files into a usb and reformat?

back up to a external device, can be a usb (if large enough) otherwise you can use blank cds/dvds/external harddrives with all the important information, then after the important stuff is removed proceed to reformatting your hard drive, during the process of reinstalling the os, when it ask you what hard drive to use, delete the drive first, then install the os on the hard-drive that was set back to default space allotted, this will ensure everything from the old os was removed! Then proceed installing the rest of the os, if you have any questions let us know!

i dont have the CD for windows 7 operation system for my laptop..

You should have a recovery partition
Google recovery partition + laoptop model
If its a desktop you either need to buy windows or an oem disc if you cant download it
