Do-search browser hijacker

Do-Search or Do Search browser Hijacking ... One Last Step to Resolve problem.

I spent some time trying to clean out the "do-search" villain, but every time I thought I had succeeded, all of my browsers (Chrome, Firefox & Explorer) still redirected to the do-search scam site.

I then noticed the properties target for each of those browser shortcuts had been appended with a do-search redirect, so I easily deleted all the do-search character string behind the actual search target character string and presto, all is well now! (seems well anyway -lol).

After I fixed the target property for each browser shortcut, I noticed the shortcut copies which were pinned to my task bar were still redirecting, so I unpinned each of those and then with each of the actual short-cuts for each browser, I just re-pinned them back to my task bar again and now those all work fine too!

I hope this saves somebody else some time, but first make sure to completely clean the do-search virus!
