Tips for you(About your PC slowdown)
Use Disc cleanup and Defragmenter
Stop applications from "Starting on boot-up" like IDM,Steam etc
Install Ad-Blocking software on your browser.
Get a good AV like Norton
Do not click on any suspicious icon While "downloading" stuff

@OP: Try resetting/Reinstall browsers from the scratch, as it will clear away all the extensions (even the nasty ones) associated with it?
Maybe you would've tried it, but just my 2 cents.

I used o be a fan of Kaspersky internet security from 2006...
but suddenly from 2009 my computer would become slow as hell(mouse wont move) and need to format...
found that is was KIS doing this....now using windows 8 with NO antivirus...

I don't plug unknown flash drives/dvd's so no viruses from them....only might get virus from downloaded files/online sites...searching....

@mikael_schiffer Can you try using Revo Uninstaller and see if it detects these 2 addons ? That should be your only hope. I once got affected by BrowserProtect. It didn't do anything that I know but I was really irritated as something was installed on my computer that I didn't install.

Revo worked fine.

Me using NIS alongwith MalwareBytes Free edition. No format since the last 6 years.

I am not the only person who gets infected with virus despite proper care. Look at National Defense depts that get hacked. You think they are careless?. No, its just that they were seriously targeted. I am on a govt. VIP line and its always on, same with he Secretariat and all, anyone is free to take just that till 10GB speed is good and after that its 256kbps. Any visitor and people strolling by are free to lap up the leftover bandwidth once my 10Gb limit is finished. I don't know if its true but technicians say the govt. lines are high priority targets among potential hackers.

Honeypot detected. Use process explorer - procexp.exe , suspend suspect processes, proceed as if nothing is going on

Avast has a 'browser cleanup' option which can be used to remove annoying browser addons.

citing cyber security of Indian govt offices is like citing bollywood gossip magazines for credible news.pvt organizations have more security than many govt offices.as for cyber attack rest assured that elite chinese/US/russian hackers will hack your PC despite all security measures & you won't even notice.this is how cyber attack on govt offices works & not by infecting PCs with browser addons & popups which even a noob can recognize as something wrong.like i said you are not taking enough precautions.for starters are you running the latest versions of java & flash & have you installed all the microsoft patches released till today.also instead of seeing currently loaded addons select all addons(loaded or not).

Wow wow smarty pants easy with your tone. Firstly you don't have any right to pass judgement on someone's mother and father based on one comment from among hundreds already made by him. Instead it shows what kind of person you are. Other members were apathetic and took my words with a pinch of salt. I could spew insults like you did but i am a bigger person so i will refrain from doing so, as of now.

But i am not here to discuss that. Sorry for the diversion caused by a person who thinks he is an expert judge of character.
See, the "onewebsearch" problem still persists despite all the diagnostic measures i could gather. There are a lot of "solutions" on the internet, and all have to do with
1) Change/Remove the default search engine
2) delete a process called random.exe

The problem with me is that those two things don't exist for me. There is no random.exe, no entry of onewebsearch in the search options...To be sure i removed all cookies,history,search items,extensions, checked startups... everything...still this problem persists.

I would be thankful if anyone could come up with a solution, or maybe use some remote access/remote desktop/control kinda thing and take control of my PC and put some of their tech knowledge for the service of mankind . When i was at chip forums a friend of mine did it for me. It was great fun, it was my first time,and problem was solved too. Its like ur PC is haunted,mouse cursor moving on its own free will some unknown force is controlling ur PC or thing like that...

And lemme just "quated" all knowing,great angreziman Mr. Know-it-All Bong back to him- GFY

Ok, i discovered something..

In IE there are 2 extensions which dont show up on google search, and they cannot be disabled . I tracked it down to C:\ProgramData. There inside their respectively folder, it held the uninstall exes. I clicked, and just as i thought, nothing happened... What now?? ;(

Pathetic reply.
But I didn't expect anything better.
P.S. I'm, what I am - "just a figment of your imagination."

@OP: if ur pc is still infected by virus even after using a paid AV...then why don't u try a Free AV (Avira) once to resolve your problem

 

[Prongs298]

its simple. ditch those. use avira+comodo firewall+comodo av (not in background mode). and you will be safe. i havent been infected at all in the last five years.

Even the paid ones didnt work.However O.P can try the free ones also.
If that also didnt work,sell your Pc and buy a new one.

 

[Nemesis99]

I know solution for this problem

Right click browser's shortcut > properties

Now look at destination smartly! You will notice that infection! Just remove that little piece of code.

Why you have keygens in your PC ? These are source of virus. Don't use pirated software, even if you use, make sure, you don't run software from untrusted source. Install a virtual machine, run untrusted software. I wish i could run all games like my college going friends, who don't care about virus. I had to play Cod MW 2 inside a vmware virtual machine with poor graphics, so i don't get infected If you are careful with what you do on your PC, you are safe. I use the free MSSE and is protecting me for years now. No infection so far. For browsing, i used Firefox + No Script. Now i use Google Chome (with scripts enabled) as chrome have process sandboxing.
