Have any of you dealt with this bastard?
Any google search I do is redirected to scour.com and the browser sticks there. Looks like it's a malware virus that none of my malware software caught.
Looking for a cleaner I can trust.
TIA

I had it a while ago. very annoying. Wish I could be more help, but I had to have my hard drive replaced (not the same issue) at the time anyway, so it's gone now.

Curly mentioned very good cleaners; you should keep in mind however that redirect viruses can inhabit a router as well as one or more computers. Here is a decent article on how to rid a router of a redirect virus.

Be cafeful, too, some of the more clever redirect viruses will direct you to fake look-alike pages for anti-virus software, where you unwittingly download more viruses thinking it's a legit virus remover ...
