What a pain to remove.
My wife was complaining yesterday about the fact that the computer seemed to have a mind of its own. I down played it a bit, until I went to do some searches this morning.
Yes, the computer did have a mind of its own.
I went to Microsoft to its knowledge and found the correct procedures to remove the virus, but it was a bit of a bother.
Be safe and keep it clean.

REW,
In your search for info on this, did they call it Google a "Search Engine Poisoning" or SEP. or " Referer redirect"? It is actually both of these two working together I bet.

It could also be or have a twist with a DNS trojan via DNS changer.
