Question : stopmalwaresite.com virus removed but browser still redirecting (hijacked) - how to fully clean??

I recently had my Windows Vista Home Premium computer infected by a virus that installed something called Antivirus7 and redirected most of my web requests to a site called stopmalwaresite.com. I scanned with both AVG9 and Malwarebytes and removed everything they found. I also tried uninstalling IE8. I then tried Safari as well and it was redirecting also.

Some brief searching online led me to the instructions found in the following page to manually remove the virus: http://www.enigmasoftware.com/stopmalwaresitecom-removal/

The browser still redirects to this stopmalwaresite.com page though. Where can I check for things that are still maliciously redirecting internet requests?

First off, I feel your pain on these fake antivirus programs.  I have to kill 3 or 4 of them a week.

The first item on the list is to get a copy of the MalwareBytes Antimalware scanner.  It is a free download, and it is fairly small.  

Once you get MBAM.exe, you run it on your computer using an account with administrative privileges.

 I haven't had a case yet where MBAM didn't clean out all those roque entries after a few scans.  It is almost like they engineered that program just to thwart rogue AV/Antispyware programs.  BleepingComputer.com is a treasure trove for info on how to purge computers of this type of malware.
