How can I remove Yahoo as a search engine for the bad written URL?

I've installed a plugin that put Yahoo as my default search engine.
Meanwhile, I could remove most of it and I'm able to use Ixquick again.
But when I get a bad URL in the url bar, e. g. motsilla.org, me always looking for Yahoo.
How can I remove this?
I saw nothing in the subject: config.

I have it!
It had nothing to do with the proxy settings, it was actually a software called "Panda Security. I hate programs like this.
But thanks a lot for your efforts!

    Whenever I start ANY browser (Firefox, GoogleChrome...) Baidu opens as my home page.

    -J' I searched my entire computer, I can't find a Baidu.exe or signs of Baidu in my PC. I found a shortcut edit 'target' that adds a command to open some files in the program data (I removed that), but Baidu still appears.

    - And I can't go to Options > general or advanced since then, firefox crashes. (I think it's because the virus does not change all parameters)

    Hi when I type in hudsocat on search engines my username shows how can I make this stop happening Bravo dave

    You used this name (or someone) to write on various public websites, so there is no way you can stop the search engines to find out who.  Stop display using this name, delete current jobs if you can, etc. and over time, that he will fall in search listings, and may disappear with time.  Basically, everything you post publicly on the web is indexed and is available for as long there.

    And, on the other hand, you posted this in the MSE forum... an anti-virus forum which does not apply to your question.

  • How can I fix lines horizontal randomly and glitter for the LCD screens for HP Pavilion dv5 Vista?

    How can I correct random lines horizontal and glitter for the LCD screens for windows vista HP Pavilion dv5? Only, it happens randomly and can get all a few minutes at a time every few hours. The entire screen white and black and horizontal lines will appear during the flickering on the half top of the screen only. Nothing else changes. My sound is immutable, and none of my screens change the size or location. However, they may appear up and down during the flashing. Can someone give me an idea of what is wrong? I looked on Google for possible corrections, but most of them seem to be for refresh rate and I don't have a notch for this and can't change it according to the steps they offer.

    Read my initial response on what it takes to please.

    "See if this helps you:

    These lines indicate corruption graphics driver or lack of graphic material.

    Go to the HP Web site > Search a drivers and download article > search your laptop model number > your operating system > drivers for it: either video / graphic / Chipset (according to the wording it) > download and install the drivers.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    If that fixed it, it seems to me be a problem of graphic material.

    Because it's a laptop; If under warranty, contact HP.

    If is not under warranty, contact a repair shop, local. »

  • Help! I can't change the search engine for the Firefox widget on my home screen

    OK, so my engine failure to research on FF for Android is Duckduckgo. It is also the only one I have in my list of search engines in FF settings. I also use the search widget FF on my homescreen for quick search. It is and has always been, Duckduckgo. But, all of a sudden after the recent update (I use the FF, 36 beta something), for my search widget on my home screen, switched to Google search engine! I don't know why... I never use it. But this applies only to the search engine for the FF search on my home screen widget, not when I'm looking for something in FF itself. Does anyone else have this problem? Because I can't find a way to change the search engine in the FF widget... Looked everywhere in search widget settings and in FF itself. Thanks for the help of any body!

    I found a way to implement back to DuckDuckGo after a bit of fiddling with the default search engine in the browser.

    I think that the update should have overridden the setting somehow. What you need to do is to any other search engine default, then set DuckDuckGo returned as default. This will also update engine of the widget's default search.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I remove yahoo from firefox?

    It is not in my list of installed programs so I can't uninstall it.

    I reinstalled Firefox and it's still there.
    How can I remove it?

    Hi gunnermac,

    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle. Your home page might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc. have been ask to become your homepage.

    There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.

    If Yahoo has been set as the default search in the search bar, you should take a look in the Knowledge Base using the search in Firefox bararticle.

    If the address bar search has been changed, so you can take a look at Search the Web from the address bar.

    If this does not work, you should look the article How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Finally, your problem may be because you have been hit by some malware.

    Hope this helps!
