First time poster, First Time reader. I have searched for other problems relating to this Virus. But nothing seems to be straight forward, its either download this or that, then i have to see if the program is worth the money. Frankly I dont even know how I got this virus, but im sure its from either installing a program, such a Utorrent or something and not reading what additional installs it offers.
Like Ive said before I have read many post around the web saying to download this such as malwarebytes (did) or stopzilla (did) but frankly Im not sure i wanna pay for those things, so I bought Avast because i read the reviews were good. But i scanned my computer and it found nothing. Frankly I hate programs like these. I was wondering if someone is willing to step up and help me here.
Recap: Someone please help me get Searchnu.com/410 off my computer and any other bug, im not a computer wiz, I just use it.

[*]When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

Okay, I will run it in “safe mode” as well. I was wondering if you use Free software you mind giving me some more? that work well. Because I just have System Mechanic Pro, and Avast. and a trial on Malwarebytes.
Malwarebytes have a free version and a PRO version.....then you get auto update and a protection module, and it works great alongside avast
the price for pro......a one time fee, for a liftime license ;)
You do have a lot of “Speedup utilities” and to be honest on a 64 bit system they are really quite pointless especially on a windows 7 system with 6Gb of memory.
Let me know if this kills it

Okay i think it worked, no searchnu homepage. Heres the attachments, and can you explain what just happened lol. So i can understand just a little bit better.
Whoops missed one… This appears to have been installed with Daemon tools
