It reminds me of a problem that I was able to solve using the help of
bleepingcomputer.com and malwarebytes.org forums. I don't remember the name
of the issue, but I do remember the search redirection.
Basically, the fix involved the rkill, gmer, and mbam tools at the least.
If you search from a safe computer for your issue and go by the instructions
at either of those forums, you will be in good hands. I want to hear how it
goes.
