Turned out Dregol had spread itself into plugins et al for an open source graphics program despite fact it was packed into a download of a certain free screencasting app…finding code containing the word “skYneT” in one plugin and removing it stopped the reappearance of Dregol browser search hijacking in all browsers. Since then I still use Comodo FW and a few other things to ultra-regulate anything that wants to open from USB, sandboxed or not, familiar or not. And when I get any new USB or SD card, first thing I do is run Privazer over it then reformat twice before using. Thanks for this article, cheers!
