The Buzz Custom Computer Virus

A few months ago I tried to get on the internet with my laptop, at first things seemed pretty normal, my homepage appeared to be normal and google also appeared to be normal, but suddenly the page was hijacked and I was redirected to custombuzz, a site about bicycles? Frustrated I rebooted my browser. Over and Over I tried to go on the web, but each time I was redirected to custombuzz. Frustrated I sat my computer down and didn't pick it back up until months later to skype a friend. Just for kick and giggles, I got on the internet and I was able to surf the net! No problems what so ever! I just thought the computer must have resolved the issue itself? Well, tonight I was getting on the internet, and the pesky virus came back...everywhere I went custombuzz popped up and I was unable to do anything! And then I thought of something!
Go to Start
Go to the control panel
Go to Network and Internet
Go to Internet Option
Go to the Security Tab
Go to Restricted Sites
Click on Sites and enter www.custombuzz.com  (I suggest copying and pasting the url into the field).
And then click "close" or "apply" or "ok" (or whatever is there)
It WORKED!!!!
I am a GENIOUS!!! :)
(I also recommend a security scan and/or liveupdate)
Hope this helps for anyone that may be experiencing this virus or any virus that is similar to this nature.
