Download malwarebytes anti malware and perform a scan. Key find most likely installed browser-hijacking malware and malwarebytes should remove it.

First off, this kind of thing sneaks in, usually during free software downloads. So when DLing free stuff beware of what you are clicking "OK" to.

Getting rid of it involves a change to the regedit file, so pause the video as needed, no sound but should be a quick fix

Maybe you can try malwarebytes to remove this redirect virus, but key-find.com is a very tricky redirect virus and can escape the detection from antivirus. For this reason, you should remove the malware with a manual way.

Internet Explorer:

Open Internet Explorer, click the Gear icon or ‘Tools‘ -> 'Internet Options'.
Here, go to the 'Advanced' tab and click the 'Reset' button.
Go to the 'Reset Internet Explorer settings' -> 'Delete personal settings' and click on 'Reset' option.
Finally, click 'Close' and OK to save the changes.


Mozilla Firefox:

Open Mozilla Firefox, go to the 'Help' section -> 'Troubleshooting Information'.
Here, choose a 'Reset Firefox’ for a couple of times and 'Finish'.


Google Chrome:

Click the Chrome menu button, select 'Tools' -> 'Extensions', find unknown extensions and similar entries, and remove them by clicking Recycle bin.
Now click 'Settings' -> 'Manage search engines' and change your default search engine.
