api.mybrowserbar.com?!

[saiyuki42]

Basically, what happened is that on both Mozilla and IE, any website that I enter on the address bar goes to api.mybrowserbar.com which always finally comes up to "cannot find the page" page. Tried to search this one using another computer and found out that this is malware found when installing pdfcreator from pdfforge.net. This malware comes up as search settings 1.1.2 on the add/remove programs. Have already removed both pdfcreator and search settings 1.1.2 on the add/remove programs but now our laptop is so slow that everytime we use a program, it would definitely process commands so long that the programs will finally be not responding and hang. any suggestions on this? thanks.
