Remove Puma search engine hijacker \ redirect that promotes useless search facilities

Puma Search Engine Hijacker (Redirector) supports bizarre search engines. In particular, it sends users to such websites as searchpuma.com. The definition of serch engine does not suite the above website and its likes well as those pages are rather used to moderate user’s browsing experience than provide actual search results. There are dozens of different domains that have "puma" word:
searchpuma.com
creditpuma.com
insurancepuma.com
gamblingpuma.com

eyepuma.com
debtpuma.com
carpuma.com

buffpuma.com
creditpuma.com
datingpuma.com
loanpuma.com

dietpuma.com
mobilepuma.com
gourmetpuma.com
internetpuma.com
foodpuma.com
stopsmokingpuma.com
foodpuma.com
cigarpuma.com
iphonepuma.com
.....
