Hi and welcome to the malwaretips.com forums!
I'm Kuttus and I am going to try to assist you with your problem. Please take note of the below:
Before we start:
Please be aware that removing malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.
Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: Run a scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.
Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

Yes, both IE and Chrome are back to their google.com start page, just as it was set from the start.
Before the ADW scan, although the startpage was set and staying to google.com in both IE's and Chrome's settings, whenever i opened either of them, they were starting actually on sweet-page.com, without the path for startup being modified to sweet-page also in the browsers' settings.
Oh, btw,... I would have expected JunkRemovalTool to have removed sweet-page, but it didn't... shame...

Here're the hash of the malware F03CFCD636FEDCDF8DDCA41CE8719A00 (Win32.Toolbar.DefaultTab), 96587A618217973C154EC4DB87FA6439 (Win32.Toolbar.Escort), 55BB146847CF8FC07253DE6AB20041A9 (Win32.Toolbar.MyWebSearch.WD), 00B6A8C35C6A868D53B29CFEC94DA42E (Win32.Toolbar.Visicom.AB). Anyway, all the files have been detected by Kompas Antivirus.
