Thank you so much fo the info. I've fixed my problem with Trojan Remover that you suggested in just 2 minutes.
The Trojan was located here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dihiniwe.dll
Thanks again. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
On another forum I found a fix.
Proceed to the Windows\system32\drivers\etc\ folder and open the Hosts file using Notepad or Wordpad. Delete all the hostfiles but the 127.0.0.1 file. Save the file back to the hosts file.
Afterwards using whatever malware detection product you have, protect that file or lock it.
That should clear up the redirects.

Easy fix after long days of frustration.
I downloaded HijackThis - a popular free tool. Performed a scan and found one very odd entry: it starts with O2-BHO-Google Dictionary.... and ends with fastsearch value added. Honestly, the rest of the files looked fine, it's just this one. I applied fix and closed all browsers. Restarted and attempted to search Google for all kinds of stuff and went to actual websites! Tried same in IE and Firefox and both worked just fine. I went back and deleted saved log file entry in HijackThis just to be safe id does not come back. If it does I will reply.
