Hi, this is for 'mystartsearch,' but the advice is probably the same, so please try working through Remove Mystartsearch virus (Easy Removal Guide) by Malware Tips.
Note that not all programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.
After removal you may need to reset your home page and search etc., which you can do with SearchReset.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
