removed dregol via controls, programs & regedit; dregol still 1 click search
running Win7; firefox 38.0.1. have used 2 programs to remove dregol:Control Panel & Advanced Uninstaller Pro. Used regedit to remove all references to dregol. It does not appear in Chrome. Removed it as default search. However, it's still there as a 1 click search engine and occasionally used as the search engine.

Have you uninstalled Dregol from the control panel already? If Dregol, is still taking over Firefox, please follow the instructions on the latter half of the article mentioned. Sometimes traces of malware and bits and pieces are left. Here are a few recommended malware solutions to completely removed Dregol from your computer.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.
Ran full deep scan and not threats found. Microsoft Security Essentials had already been installed.
