Hi Max,
Sorry to hear about the virus on your secondary machine. The eHow
website is really a mess and has so many ads and page refreshes,
your best bet is to find the instructions from another website that
isn't designed so poorly. Here is one option that I found when I
used Google to find webpages with info on removing Safe
Search:
<http://botcrawl.com/how-to-remove-the-safesearch-virus/>http://botcrawl.com/how-to-remove-the-safesearch-virus/.
This article recommends using a 3rd party malware scanner and I have
had great success with Malwarebytes. After running the scan and
removing the threats that are found, you should follow the
additional steps to uninstall any related SafeSearch programs,
browser add-ins/extensions/plugins and also reset your home page and
search provider defaults in your web browsers.
For your convenience, I will paste the instructions from the eHow
webpage below but please keep in mind that GW Micro is not
responsible for any negative effects that my result from making
changes to your registry so please be careful if you attempt to
complete the manual removal instructions listed in the article:

anti-virus-related web pages. In addition, it significantly slows
