How can I stop firefox to load a third-party file at startup to redirect?

A member of my family recently install some freeware on my computer and now I have a question where it is basically hijacked my browser. For the most part, I have fixed all the problems except one: when ever my browser starts, it attempts to load an external file, which I've deleted for obvious reasons (in fact the whole directory there in), that redirect to a search engine, it is no longer occurs because the file has been deleted. I don't have any success for any part of the path to the file in the subject: config so I guess that it is clean. I copied a profile from a computer completely different to ensure it is not garbage in there. Finally, I already ran an anti-virus scan and two cleaning of Adware programs. Regardless of the boot settings, I always start up a "cannot open file:///C:/ProgramData/Bamcofs/snp.sc"which overall does not seem to be a problem, but it is rather annoying.

PS I rather not have to reinstall unless it is absolutely necessary.

You can check the target line in the shortcut to the Firefox desktop (right click: properties) to make sure that nothing is added after the path to the Firefox program.
