My computer has been infested by "Clicksearch"

Post by HemlockGrey »

I don't know how it happened, but suddenly this thing called "Clicksearch" has infested my computer. Now random words are links to clicksearch searches, my Google results are hijacked, and links in normal websites have been taken over by Clicksearch. I can't even get into ARSE now because Clicksearch redirects me to some websearch page. I ran Spybot, but no dice. Anyone know how I get rid of this fucking thing, and if it would be legal to torture it's programmers to death?

Download, run, and copy & paste the log it generates here.

You also need to run Adaware in conjunction with Spybot since one will catch what the other won't, and vice versa.
