That's a variant of the CoolWebSearch browser hijacker. Download the CWShredder tool 
towards the bottom of this page and run it. If you get a message saying 'A required 
dll, MSVBVM60.DLL, was not found', install this first: Direct download: VB 6 Runtime Libraries from Microsoft 

The CoolWebSearch Chronicles: The story of a thousand hijacks 

Direct download to the Shredder:

Be sure to close all browser windows before running the Shredder. Note, this trojan 
may execute again after rebooting. Keep the tool on hand. He updates it frequently, 
so check for an update at least once a week.
