malware:

adknowledge plus hijacked google searches that send me to this site:http:// hotstartsearch.com

 

any insight how to remove these things?  i have tried many many scans to no avail.  norton 360 didnt work, NPE, Norton bootable recovery, malwarebytes, avast, avg, etc

we have windows 7 home premium and our university IT person gave me a bootable kaspersky disc that i cannot boot from.  the disc is good, our cd drive is also good, and i know enough to change the boot order but did not see that drive listed as an option. YUK!
