Like most other previously infected users, I got mine from downloading iLivid, but as soon as I saw that it changed my default website to http://www.searchnu.com/406, I immediately uninstalled it. However, it still has my default webpage hijacked on IE9 and I am unable to change it, not ever through the registry. I'd appreciate some help!
PS Almost seems that this type of hijacking should be illegal.
