ww1.dlinksearch.com keeps coming up when I try to search - have I been hacked and how do I fix it?

I've noticed for a while that when I try to search, or a wrong URL comes up it has the address dlinksearch.com. It's messing up my computer and interfering with my other search engines. From what I've read, I've been hacked but don't know how to get rid of it. I've deleted the cookie but it's still happening. I've been looking for help but I don't want to mess with the registry without knowing the procedure is the correct thing to do.

Any help appreciated.

Do you have a D-Link router? This could be a "feature" of the firmware. Check out these threads:
