Hello, I just signed up to the forum a few minutes ago. I saw quite a few threads regarding the Search that has taken over my web search. I am not a computer genius but have basic skills. Can someone help me remove this malware from my laptop?

First thing to do is to run this prework for our security team

Hi,
My name is John, and I'm a member of the Searchqu Support Team. I'm here to help
When Savevid installs onto your pc it offered two basic installs, typical installation, which lists the add-on features such as searchqu Toolbar, and Custom installation, which allows you to select which add-ons you wish to install. There's no need to worry if you did the typical install - this isn't a virus, nor malware, and there's no need to Perform a virus scan against it.
In order to remove searchqu as your default search please follow the instructions:
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > look for windows searchqu toolbar > Uninstall
2. Reboot the browser.
