How to get rid of browser hijacker

Whenever i search on any of the browsers on my lumia 520, it automatically uses search.clearch.org which is some sort of browse hijacker.

My research on removing it only comes up with solutions that address this issue on computers rather than mobiles.

I really don't want to have to do a hard reset.

Never heard of this issue on Lumia, try changing default search to google from Internet explorer search settings

Have you tried another network?
Deleting browsing history?

That's probably the internet provider.

Reset the browser settings on your phone. Tap the Internet Explorer live tile on the home screen. Tap on the ellipses (...) at the bottom right.
Scroll down and tap settings. Scroll down and tap delete history. Tap delete to confirm.
Wait a few seconds for the cache and cookies to clear.
