This is a browser hijacker. You'll need to do a few things to get rid of this one. Hit me up tomorrow for some remote support if you want help removing. Uninstalling and reinstalling will not help.

What I would do is download MBAM and run a quick scan. You can get it here. I have yet to meet a virus and/or hijacker that this didn't remove for me.

lol this is one i did try ( V 1.51.0.1200 ) and it didnt find the one i wanted but found others thou.. i also tried SuperantiSpyware ( v 4.54.1000 ) and that didn't do it, but the unusually thing is i uninstalled MS Office Enterprise and installed open office and since then the problem had gone ? Now i know its highly improbable that MS Office enterprise was the culprit but that the only think i altered.
