My computer seems to be (at least partially) highjacked by the malware called Zeno. It claims to be a "browser enhancement." I don't know how it got on my system, but would sure like some advice from someone who has experienced Zeno in getting it off.

Zeno is highjacking my "search engine results" (I usually use Google) and directing me to what it deems useful (to its advertisers).

I have tried my computer's own internal "search" to find the word Zeno as a file name or embedded in a file name (in order to purge it) and nothing comes up. I have installed on my computer "WinFixer" as a cache cleaner, but when that it is run, it is not finding and destroying Zeno.

Any help/ideas would be most appreciated!!!!! God bless!
