Home page keeps changing start.search

This morning my homepage in FF and IE are passed to start.search.us.com. I managed to uninstall start.search (use Revo Uninstaller; it does not appear in Control Panel of configuration/programs). I was able to change my home page in Internet Explorer to what I want and it seems to "stick". But whenever I restart FF home page I had previously put switches back to start.us. I can find no evidence of start.search in Add-ons, Extensions etc. I think I know where it came from - I clicked a little too fast on some free software and spotted the search thing too late. I saw some extremely complicated explanations and recommendations for this problem in FF somewhere with a lot of comments that the substance was indecipherable and didn't work anyway. Any suggestions? I saw a suggestion that uninstall FF and then put it back can be remedied. T it? If so I can do it quite easily - save my favorites and the relocation of the single add-on I've used for months.

In addition, if the problem persists, you can try to start the Task Manager (right click on the task bar) > process > Show processes from all users. You can then search online suspicious Image name and try to uninstall the external program from Windows behind the suspicious name via the start menu or Windows Control Panel > programs and features, or at least changes of settings in the external Windows program. Security dedicated forum will be useful:
