Execute the file in Windows 7 - Right click and select: Run as Administrator
On the screen that appears, click on: Change parameters
On the next screen, check: Loaded Modules and Detect TDLFS file system.
Do not check: Verify file digital signatures
If asked to reboot because an "Extended Monitoring Driver is required" please click: Reboot now
Next...
Click Start Scan and allow the scan process to run
If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results
Ensure Cure (default) is selected, then click Continue > Reboot now to finish the cleaning process. (Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete.)
By default, the tool outputs its log to the system disk root folder (the disk with the Windows operating system, normally C:\).
Logs have a name like:
C:\TDSSKiller.2.4.7_23.10.2013_15.31.43_log.txt
Do TDSS Killer scan as suggested, though it will detect only part of possible infections (it detects a subset of trojans causing such symptoms).
For other Trojans, and it looks like infection, use Hitman Pro HitmanPro 3 - SurfRight - it scans with 5 AV engines instead of one.
If nothing is detected, then it is possible that the cause is toolbar in your browser. Use Adwcleaner from bleepingcomputer instead.
There are other causes of search hijacking, though less common, due to malicious settings ( listed here ), like malicious proxies, dns hijacking, etc.
Running TDSSKiller is a good idea, as there are a lot of rootkits going around nowadays.
Have you run Malwarebytes yet? If not, please d/l the free version & run it.
Here is the link for AdwCleaner as suggested by gied. If Malwarebytes fails to find/remove anything, run this next.
If after running these the problem persists, Run Windows Defender Offline. Be sure to make this on a different PC that is not infected, as making this on an infected machine can compromise the integrity of the scanner.
This isn't going well so far I ran TDSSKILLER and it came up clean I have the paid version of Malwarebytes running all the time as well as Norton 360. So I downloaded Adwcleaner and it seemed to find some things and I deleted them and ran it again and it comes up clean. I know there was a Java scare so I disabled it but so far nothing. The same thing happens if I use bing.
Let's see what the following short scan shows...
