CCLeaner - run it to clean your system
Avast Anti-virus (free home version) - let it do a full scan
Malwarebytes - let it do a full scan
use these three programs and your system will run a lot better
Razor web is malware.
there are numerous hits on google as to how to remove it.
oh and go to your CONTROL PANEL and un-install anything you dont want
In CCleaner there is a way to modify what programs get started at logon - remove all those you dont want too (*and then uninstall them)
I had a similar problem with Firefox but I was able to remove the offending addon.
I have a Dell Laptop that runs like a champ.
I use
1) CC Cleaner (Free Crap Cleaner)

2) Microsoft Security Esentials (Free Anti Virus)

3) Advance System Care (Everything else $29.99 a year). I really do not need Microsoft Security Center with this.
I have to admit its the System Care that keeps my computer clean and fast. I thought $30 a year is certainly worth it.
Some changes don’t take effect until you restart the computer?
Here is the Advance System Care for $30 a year. Well worth the money IMO

Razor Web belongs to a huge family of SuperWeb LLC products, including Coupons Free, Newer Version, Checked List, and many others, each of them are known as ‘adwares’ and ‘potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). It means that Razor Web adware or any of its clones can infiltrate computers bundled with other freewares without being noticed. If it does that successfully, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and other web browsers may be hijacked and filled with HTTP cookies, which may constantly monitor your online activities with an intention to gather your search terms, websites visited, data entered in them, clicks, IP address, PC’s location, email address, and so on. Such personally non-identifiable information is very important for third-party advertisers, who need such data for advertising purposes.

Install and use Google Chrome. Don’t have near the problems with pop ups,, etc, much faster as well. I don’t use IE except for a couple of business related uses where IE is required.
Some browser extensions have to be deleted/removed through the Windows 7 Control Panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features >> Uninstall
I use a little freeware program called GeekUninstaller, because it also identifies some junk the Control Panel uninstall misses.
Mr. K recommended Avast! and I second his motion.
Happy your issue is solved, but run Avast! in Boot-time scan mode when you have some time -— it’s remarkably effective. Note: if a virus is found choose: Move to chest.
Best!
Um...have you addressed how the malware ended up on your computer in the first place?
That seems to be equally as important as removing it.
Jus’ sayin’...
