removing nasty browser hijacker cloudcellurl.com?
Affects google searches and redirects me to sites I don't want to see. Part of it started out as having an issue with a nasty browser hacker redirecting using 'flurrysearch' which seems to be gone after hours of researching and applying many, many steps to get rid of it.
What remains is this cloudcellurl which will not go away. It also shuts down the browser if I try to go to a yahoo.com site of any kind of yahoo site when using a Foxfire browser.
(right now I am typing in Google chrome because it doesn't seem to affect it at all).
Please help if you can
I am using Windows 7 on a 1+ year old Toshiba laptop
This is so annoying!

Use these programs to clean your PC. Download Malwarebytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/, Superantispyware http://www.superantispyware.com/ and HItman Pro http://www.surfright.nl/en. Update and scan with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware but no updating is needed for Hitman since its cloud based. They should find it. The free versions of Malwarebytes and Superantispyware (Superantispyware has an anti hijacking option in the free version so it will alert you of changes) are good enough for scanning no need to get the full versions. Quarantine what they find after scanning. Also download WOT at Mywot.com for Either IE or Firefox if you want to block sites or Chrome or Opera if you want to have protection for those with a warning, no blocking of websites for those browsers yet. Once you have it installed you will see the WOT circle next to your URL bar. Left click it and hit settings, then go to warnings and hit very affective, then on behavior have the switch facing down on "blocked" then scroll down and hit apply. It will now block malicious sites that it has in its data base. :)
