I can no longer use google.com as my browser because of key-find.com. How do I remove this software from my computer? My computer software is Windows 8.

key-find.com

Thank you so much. I did some searching and found out that I was able to remove key-finder.com by going to the Google Chrome tools menu, and making google.com my default browser vs instead of the key-finder.com. I think I had been looking at a photography website and must have unknowingly also downloaded key-finder.com when I downloaded a series of articles about shooting pictures.

Thanks again everyone for your help!
