The http://searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.netmalware is hidden somewhere on my computer and Malwarebytes Premium does not find it. It seems to affect Chrome and Firefox, but not IE. It hijacks my home page. Can someone help, please? Addition.txtFRST.txt

Next,

 

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into.
NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Run FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or the folder it was ran from. Please post it to your reply.
