How can I remove a search engine hijacker?
when I click search result after I do a seach with google, and I believe, other search engines, I am re-directed to some kind of marketing site instead of to the site in the search hit.
I have tried sbybot – nothing
mcafee – nothing
webroot spysweeper – nothing
supersntispware free – nothing
stopzilla (premium) – nothing
malwarebyte ant-malware free – nothing
smitfraudfix – nothing
avira av free – nothing (s/ I pony up for the premium to get the spyware part of the product ? it is worth it to me)
i am using firefox. not sure if I have that Noscript thing set.
I went to http://noscript.net/?ver=1.9.0.8&prev=
and clicked it and installed it. After going out of firefox and back in, I have my search results back. I see why this was product of the year in 2006. thanks, ya guy.

nuked it… that’s what you get for looking at porn, trust me i know what i am saying,,,, well unfortunately the only way you can get rid of this is by formatting your computer to factory setting… even if you manage to remove it, the threat is always there formatting will be the safest way to get rid of it …

get superantispyware free edition and enable Home page protection and then run your scan in safe mode, this program is great at finding trojans and other crap.

Does this happen with FireFox? Internet Explorer? Opera? If it happens in all web browsers then I think your computer is infected with some hidden virus.
Try going to your Internet Options and clear History, Cache, Cookies, and anything else you can clear. Sometimes that helps.

try this way
in safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you
delete it manually. then run ccleaner to clean your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry.
what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program.
even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid.
dont forget when you install this software to update them, and do an update every day
then restore until before you get infected.
