    The following programs are both effective in removing browser hijackers.

    Download, update, and run a full system scan with either Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or Superantispware.

    > Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

    > Superantispyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/

    Edit: I'm waiting enthusiastically for the better answer that the thumbs-downer apparently has.
