My browser is messed up by Forsearch.net but I have no
idea how to deal with the situation. I clear temp files to tune up the browser
performance and avoid fishing websites. However, I cannot get rid of the
redirect virus in the same way this time. How can I solve the problem so that my
browser can work normally again? Any help will be appreciated.
