When opening Mozilla Firefox browser to do a search, the screen does not open to the normal Firefox homepage with a Google search bar....instead the browser is hijacked to a blank screen, with heading: "Welcome to Mydomainadvisor.com" I have found references on the web to mydomainadvisor as a trojan virus that can change settings including registry and maybe pick up passwords, etc. PLEASE HELP me get rid of this!!! Thank you!!! Sandi

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
