startsear.info virus - help ASAP!

[QwEEErtzu]

When I tried to download a torrent of a TV show I'm watching there was some codec I had to instal so I could watch it. So I downloaded it (unfortunately) and apparently it changed my Firefox homepage to startsear.info. I am unable to change the settings back to my original home page because it resets every time I exit Firefox. Not sure what's with IE, the one my father uses for paying bills. I'm really an amateur so please guide me through this or if there is some special antivirus which can remove this. Please help me!
I'm using Windows 7 if that information is helpful.

This really isn't the place to ask this kind of question. This is for World of Warcraft General Discussion. We do have an Off-Topic Discussion Forum as well as a Back Room Discussion Forum which would be more relevant.

With that said I understand your concern and desire to find a solution to your problem. Good luck getting it fixed and the virus removed.

@Xalah Thank you for the link. I will follow the guide then link my log here as soon as possible.

@Unholyshaman Yes, sorry about that. When I found out how bad this is I couldn't wait to ask for helpful solution so in all that rush I've came here first without checking other more appropriate topics. If you wish I will start another thread on one of those 2 you linked and paste a link here.

After half day of downloading scanning and deleting bad staff from my PC here's my log. I still need your help to guide me further and answer some of my questions.
1. Tell me if there's something in here that I should remove from a post which could compromise some of my personal information (sorry I'm amateur so I have to ask).
2. Does those 8-9 programs I downloaded slowing my PC? ... If are, can I delete them ?
3. I've read a few things about this startsear.info on time, gladly I didn't clicked on their adds in my browser because they can steal my personal information and money. My father is using IE for paying bank bills so you probably understand my concern and need of fixing this ASAP. So my question is, will I be safe after you help me remove it and is it possible to remove it 100% ?

If I think something else about this I will ask. Hope to see your reply tomorrow Xalah and thanks in advance
