www.jobasearch.com browser hijacker

I have a system that's infected with the Job Search browser hijacker. I've tried multiple cleaners including malware bytes, adware cleaner, hitman, however once rebooted it keeps re-appearing. Can anyone direct me to a removal tool that can clean up this virus? The web page it redirects to is www.jobasearch.com.

Thanks!

Start Notepad with Run as Administrator. Navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and open hosts.

Remove any entries that are not comments. save hosts, and try your virus cleaners again.

Thanks John. I opened it however there were no entries that were not already comments. So that's not an issue.

Download, install and run Process Explorer from Microsoft Sys Internals.

Look under the Explorer tree (left side) for strange alphanumeric processes. Kill these and do not restart. Run Malwarebytes again to clear out any such viruses and then restart.

If that does not work, the computer has become untrustworthy. Back it up, format and reinstall Windows.

Download and run the following
malwarebyte
adwcleaner
zhpcleaner
resetbrowser

install and run them one by one in the same order
Once run and cleaned you can uninstall them
use the resetbrowser.exe to reset all installed browser on the computer
