Google tab for ie, Firefox, and google chrome have all changed to www.web-find.me. I have tried to research removal of this but haven't had luck with finding the steps for this specific virus. Used MalwareTips steps for onlinewebfind.com but I'm not sure if this is the same virus. I have webroot pro and it doesn't detect a virus. I can still get on other sites no problem. Anyone else have issues with this?

I also followed these steps because I couldn't find anything for my specific issue. http://malwaretips.com/blogs/onlinewebfind-com-removal/ Still not working. I will that my firefox is working but IE is still bringing up www.web-find.me in place of my google tab. I ran adwcleaner and it didn't show anything. I went into my programs to look for something that shouldn't be there to be uninstalled but didn't see anything. Ran malwarebytes anti-malware and it 2 things on my registry but I'm still having issues after restarting.
