Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Thanks. I ran both eset and malwarebytes and they found nothing. It's not a popup its creates a new tab.

hi, you may try to manually remove this kozanekozasearchsystem virus if none of security tools worked. Manual removal instruction: http://blog.teesupport.com/completely-remove-kozanekozasearchsystem-com-browser-hijacker-kozanekoza-search-system-virus-manual-removal/

Thanks. Seems that my PC has been 'rootkitted' I'm working with the great folks at malwarebytes to clean everything up. If after that this website still shows up then I tackle it manually.

I am having the same problem. I Googled and I found this article- [http://www.zimbio.com/Spyware/article.../Remove+Kozanekozasearchsystem+com+Hijacker]

As explained in Different Articles, It cannot be removed by your normal Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware Programs. I am already using Malware Bytes' Anti-Malware and still I can't remove this "Son of a W***h".

Please install WOT add-on from mywot.com to see which site is safe and which site is not. The link provided above by WakeWatcher is not Safe according to WOT. Who knows actual truth. I am just telling what WOT is saying.

Please let me know if your problem gets resolved.

To know more search- "kozanekozasearchsystem adware" on Google.

i used HitMan Pro 5.3 build 131: http://www.surfright.nl/en/downloads/

all the other apps did nothing

The answer given by kiii(in above post) is right. It did work for me. Hitman Pro was able to remove this whereas Norton, ESET and Avira weren't!
