I seem to have some sort of bug on my 'puter.... it's called "hotstartsearch" and it hijacks my browser (firefox, chrome and IE, doesn't matter) and opens a new window searching with "hotstartsearch.""
I've tried some suggestions I've googled, but nothing has gotten rid of it. Malwarebytes finds nothing, and neither does Adaware.
Any thoughts?

Do you have Malwarebytes? That should get rid of it.

Yes, I have malwarebytes, but it doesn't find it.
KLR - I will check those suggestions. Thanks!

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

When I googled hotstartsearch, I got thousands of hits for removal. Most even looked legit.

I have/had Delta Search, but I mostly got rid of it.
