1. Remove Fsecure and use this Avira Free Antivirus. Update and
scan.
AntiVir Personal 12.0.0.898

2. Install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.61 after it Updates
boot into "Safe Mode" (Press F8 after Oem Logo on boot up)
Do a full scan while in safe mode. Remove all it finds.

3. Some may disagree but I have some luck with Redirects using
Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.2 It may not remove it but at least will Identify the culprit. This older version is the only one to use
stay away from any of thier betas. Do Not Use Any of the Betas of
that.

4. This may help if the other things do not work.
How to remove Google Redirects or the TDSS, TDL3, or Alureon rootkit using TDSSKiller

5. How can I reset the Hosts file back to the default? Just hit the
"fix it"

Do all Google searches redirect to scour?
