Default Bee-Find.com? How to Get Rid of it?

Somehow I have downloaded another search engine, or possibly some form of spyware onto my computer. Everytime I use my search engine (google) and I click on any of the search results, it takes me to a page entitled bee-find.com, and then transfers me over to another search engine that wants to sell merchandise. Is anyone familiar with this? How to get rid of it? I scanned my computer w/ McAfee and Glary Utilities. How can I get rid of it?!?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I knew what program to uninstall I would do it. Unfortunately I do not see it in the list.

Sounds like a browser hijack.

I would run hijackfree

http://www.majorgeeks.com/a-squared_...ree_d4516.html

and bugoff if that doesn't help.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/BugOff_d4308.html

Also perhaps CWShredder

http://www.majorgeeks.com/CWShredder...ion_d4086.html

http://www.majorgeeks.com/Trend_Micr...der_d3019.html

Let us know how things work out.

I use a combo of adaware and spybot search & destroy. Both free and work wonders.
