Well that was fun.
For those who have experienced or might experience this `Home Search' browser hijack here are some pages I used to get rid of it.

- specifically used the hsremove program several times.
Ran adaware several times.
Used the hijackthis software.
Also checked out the aboutbuster.
Pretty crazy.
I ended up doing some of my own removing of files that I didn't recognize in my process list (yes, I keep an eye on my processes and tend to notice when there is something unusual there).
Seems to be gone now.
Two restarts, one hard shut down, one entry into safe mode.
Back to normal. Approximately 55 minutes wasted.
