  • How can I get rid of a search engine that took the home page?

    Search.US.com took my hone page and everything else he can. I tried all the suggestions allotted to me by the help section. I went up to delete cookies. It's very invasive. I looked to re-establish the system but have few options for recovery points and they do not include the download of search engine. I removed the add on it came with as well. I had removed the search engine in Add/Remove programs and was stupid when he asked if I wanted the restored default settings. I said no. I fear that I am pretty stupid when it comes to software. I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your time in this matter. PS I put what I thought was relevant in the bottom box. I had not seen this before. I tried to change it, but could not.

    First of all, you should be able to reset your home page in the following dialog box:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > general > getting started section

    If that restores the next time, you have probably some other cleanup to do.

    If you prefer to use the built-in Firefox homepage, this module can help rewire the Google search field:

  • I can't get rid of Ask program because it is not among my programs

    I can't get rid Ask program because it is not among my programs in Control Panel. I tried to follow all of the other suggestions I found on the Internet but without a bit of luck. Can anyone help, please.

    Hi, please try to work through Remove Ask Toolbar and Ask.com Search by Malware advice - the article is a bit old, so you have to improvise!

    Note that not all programs removal allows to detect all malware, you may need to run multiple or all of them.

    After the withdrawal, you need to reset your home page and search, what you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  • How can I get rid of Yahoo search to start in creating a new tab?

  • How can I get rid of Claro search? He turned to Google.

    How can I get rid of this very delicate malware? It has hi-jacked and Google search according to the very limited online feedback, it is very difficult to get rid of and "advice" often try to sell me an antivirus software. I tried the obvious things: uninstall - searched and no sign of her, and then controls, no sign of him, then do tools > Options > settings > search engines and return default Google and guess what... Claro still Hi-jcks Google and is apparently very busy reading this? Help...

    Thanks a lot Gordon for your very quick response and recommendation. I don't know how Claro exceeded my NORTON antivirus, but it did. Embarrassed, after hours of almost panic, I think I got rid of Claro due to the intervention of my wife! She suggested restoration! Before smile you, I have been a prisoner of MSN since the days of Babbage and have always found that RESTORE never worked but this time he did!  I had a look at RESTORE points earlier and noticed a glut of Microsoft "Security emergency" updates, I went beyond 7 days and after 7 minutes, I was incredibly «back to normal from Microsoft» I now check these security updates "Urgent" and install them manually - I can't be sure if this is how Claro snook in but remember that Sherlock Holmes said about the search for truth? Interestingly, I read that Gmail stops then how is it that they know about it and my blank mail does not have this malware? However, on your recommendation, it is fully appreciated and kept in reserve (only free for 24 hours - I'll, "keep my powder dry!" for now at least). I reported my findings to Norton. Our technicians use AVG and often tell me to abandon NORTON, I fit and arrived next renewal Bill is going to say goodbye - I guess that the loyalty is blind? My only concern is is that Claro mess with its records... I can't be sure if Claro is dormant and waiting to be resurrected by the time, or "trigger". Aside: you don't say that you are a student, if you're looking for a qualification, keep up the good work and best wishes for your future. To paraphrase Darwin: "is not intelligence that leads to success, it's the ability to adapt", I benefited by adapting to the advice of my technophobe wife, now apparently I have her other pair of shoes! Yours gratefully, O.

  • How can I get rid of the search results?

    After that I did a search on Google, the site is there with my other frequently used sites. Once I have selected the site I want to get rid of, I click on the star of the address and select Delete bookmark and then finished. Nothing happens. I want to get rid of these sites I access only once and no longer need.

    It is not a bookmark, it is a history entry. Here are two ways to remove things from a more selectively than the feature clear recent history:

    • Arrow down for access to the auto-suggest list address bar and press the delete key. Note that the URL is displayed in the address bar until you go up or down arrow again, but history entry will be deleted to appear on the menu drop down.
    • Use the Library dialog box (menu history > show history)
  • How can I get rid of Yahoo Search. If you do not have an answer that really works, I have to get rid of Firefox!

    Simple enough... I want to kill Yahoo search and never see him again!

    Unless there is interference from external software or an add-on, Firefox to remember your preferences for your default search engine and can hide the Yahoo Search bar icon. The real Yahoo search engine plugin (XML file) is located in the Firefox program folder and will be restored whenever you update Firefox, so it is not used that much by physically removing.

    As Jon mentioned previously, you can select your default search engine and hide the buttons "one-off" undesirable in the dialog box Preferences here (either):

    • '3-bar' menu > Preferences > search
    • Firefox menu > Preferences > search

    Now, why would this setting may not be honored? Check if you have picked up additional modules Spigot or a pipe or other elements of mystery. You can open the page modules using either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Here you can set the non-recognized or non-essential plugins 'Never turn on'.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Here, you can disable and remove unwanted or unrecognized extensions often.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Note: If you got these add-ons in your Firefox, see if you can find how they got on your system. Usually, they accompany something "free" you downloaded and installed, sometimes disclosed and sometimes hidden, and if you don't clean that , too, your Firefox problem may return.
