Impossible to uninstall a plugin

I seem to have several suspicious Add-ons in the plugin/panel(under appearance) category that I can't seem to remove. any help? as a delete button hidden?

Hello thegoodman.

You cannot delete the plugins from Firefox. On the right you will see a menu drop-down, you can change this to ' activate ' to "never activate", which allows to disable the plugin.

To remove a plugin, you must go to Control Panel->programs and features and uninstall the program that added the plugin.

Since you mentioned that the Add-ons are suspicious, you might want to search for malware. Take a look at this article Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malicious software

Let us know if that solves your problem.

I tried booting from the ERD, start did not find any problem. the search on my computer for mysearchdial or something unknown shows nothing. ran put utilities at the point in the registry, found nothing.

    What should I try next? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The easiest way is probably to make a Reset of Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your personal data (bookmarks, history, etc.) will be saved, but you will have to reinstall all your addons.

    Firefox - modules to reset and refresh settings

    If you don't arrive in the Firefox Orange menu to do the reset and then close Firefox and then hold down the SHIFT key while you open it. This will bring up a menu that gives you the ability to reset Firefox.

    The problem is that (as you've identified) there is a chance that Firefox will get hijacked again if you are unable to remove malware from your computer.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    I also suggest looking at the list of programs for starting and turning off one you don't want to or don't recognize. All that is originally from the diversion of mysearchdial is likely to be listed in the startup list, because he wants to run as soon as the computer starts.

    I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

  • Impossible to uninstall registry mechanic

    Impossible to uninstall registry mechanic

    How have you tried to uninstall?

    What is going on?  Please report any message (s) completely, without paraphrasing.

    Did you use it to 'clean up' or 'fix' the registry?  If Yes, how long?  If this isn't the case, a long time ago, is there an "undo" function that allows you to get to the State of your computer before using Registry Mechanic?

    If it has not been long since you've used Registry Mechanic, (b) you have not installed or uninstalled all other applications, and (c) you have not disabled the system restore, use system restore to go back to a point before you used Registry Mechanic.  I would not use SR to return more than a day or three.
