New Tab Hijacker: www1.dlinksearch.com/How to Remove

Problems:
1) when you typed a phrase in your browser it usually went to a default search page (i.e. Google), but now it goes to http://www1.dlinksearch.com/main?url=yahar.ca&w=1014&h=613. 

2) computer is running slowing, page loading speed is also slow;

3) opening up a new tab will show www1.dlinksearch.com, which is quite irritating;

4)  it also hijacks your address bar as quoted here:


‘When I type part of a URL into the location bar, the drop-down menu suggests a number of options. One of the options is the full URL which I want to go to. I select that option and press enter. However, I am taken to a page, with Yahoo in the corner, which has many references to the topic I am interested in, but none of them is the URL I want to go to.The URL of this page starts with http://www1.dlinksearch.com/752150.... Even if I type the entire URL into the location bar and then press Enter, I still get this search page. The end result is that I cannot go to the URL I want. ?’
