This was useful link. This is really sneaky from Search.us.com, they forces you to take their s*** on your computer.

First I control panel/remove programs
than start/run/reg-edit ctrl+f delete everything related
remove addons from browser.

I wont ever again use their services, and will discourage anyone that will intend to.
