It seems like you have won the War of the Malware! I opened Chrome and for once I saw Google and not search-default.net! I am ever so grateful and wish to thank you...I'm more than happy to buy you a drink or two.

Purge System Restore

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.
