Remove Isearch.fantastigames.com Completely

Complaints about Isearch.fantastigames.com:

http://isearch.fantastigames.com/ keeps on coming up on my webpage instead of Mozilla/Yahoo. I cannot get rid of it. Is this MALWARE? My PCPITSTOP expired so I searched for a pc cleaner and found CCLEANER and downloaded it. Followed instructions and the next time I started FIREFOX, it was now my new search engine. I hope that I am phrasing this right. Thanks.

Description on Isearch.fantastigames.com:

Isearch.fantastigames.com is a notorious computer infection which belongs to the browser hijacker family. It will definitely cause a great chaos to infected PC. Isearch.fantastigames.com can infiltrate into the target computer via many ways. It can take advantages of the system holes to invade into the compromised PC, it can hide into the email attachments and sneaks into the target computer when users open these unreliable emails. It can also bundle with some free software and sneaks into the computer during the setup process of the free software.

When Isearch.fantastigames.com gets into the PC, it begins to carry out its malicious tasks. Firstly, it will modify the homepage and default search engines to http://isearch.fantastigames.com/. This fake search engine imitates the style of Google Chrome but the search results displayed by Isearch.fantastigames.com are totally different with those from formal search engines. Uses may find that there are lots of links among the results and if they click them, they will be navigated to commercial websites. Here I want to the say, Isearch.fantastigames.com not only will redirect users to commercial web pages but also bring users into the websites that contains other kinds of computer viruses, such as adware, spyware and Trojan horse. If users stay longer in those harmful sites, the virus gets the chance to invade into the target PC.

Meanwhile, the infected PC will run more and more slowly as Isearch.fantastigames.com has ate up the system resources gradually. If you do not take action to remove this browse hijacker immediately, system crash will be the final result to you.
