Unread postby Wei4 » September 18th, 2012, 9:17 pm

This is my first time here, but believe you guys may be of some help. Ever since I updated my Youtube Downloader via their "updater" I have had my homepage changed to "http://search.yahoo.com/?type=937811&fr=spigot-yhp-ff" and regardless of what I do I can't remove this issue. I have researched that it has to do with removing the Youtube Downloader Updater. This computer is not used for business at all and is a home computer. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Steps taken so far:
* I ran MalwareBytes AntiMalware, Found nothing.
* I Uninstalled Youtube Downloader all together, but the problem persisted.
* I performed a System Restore to the last previous restore date, problem persisted.
**Was prompted by Threatfire after the system restore to quarantine and kill this process:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Spigot\SearchSettings\SearchSettings.exe
* I Ran PC Tools Threatfire and found nothing.
* I ran Microsoft Security Essentials, and found nothing


Here are my logs:
