Checking your registry one by one is probably not the best idea, I understand your pain though, browser hijackers are a pain. I will assume that you already tried the following:

  1. Checked your browser add-ons for any unrecognized extensions

  2. Checked your programs for any unrecognized or suspicious activity

  3. Installed RKill to kill any malicious processes

  4. Ran a full scan with antivirus software

  5. Scanned your PC with Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, ADWCleaner, Zemana.

  6. Used a third party application to attempt to clean your registries (Or in your case, did manually, I would still recommend trying a third party application)

  7. Reset your browsers to default settings

  8. Used browser specific clean up tools (Each browser has specific cleaner, like Chrome clean up tool)

  9. Did all of the following steps in Windows "Safe mode with networking"

There are also adware/browser hijacker removal tools, like Bitdefender's adware removal tool. Nortons removal tool.

If yes, I am afraid, all of the conventional methods are exhausted at this point. And I too would like to know other possible solutions to this situations, if these do not help.

    It was "apple panda" hijacker to be accurate – Red Jul 19 '17 at 15:41
  • Nice to hear, that you sorted your issues out. The main thing is that if conventional methods do not work, try a variety of them, I will be sure to look into Spyhunter's effectiveness in the future. Apple Panda is unheard for me, interesting. Thanks for your feedback! – Josh Ross Jul 20 '17 at 08:40
