Browswer Hijack searchqu.com/405

My browser was hijacked last night, apparently when I downloaded a plugin for savevid.com to download youtube videos. I have downloaded with that site for a few years and had to install a plugin before. I figured mine must have been corrupt or they were using a newer downloader so I went ahead and downloaded the plugin as directed and found the hijack an hour or so later.

What I see is http://www.searchqu.com/405 when it should say www.google.com

Thanks!
