Stormvade seems to open up similar to an add-on, and redirects search results and creates pop-up adds and scareware warnings. I haven't been able to remove with a few malware/adware programs tried so far on the Windows 7 PC. Stormvade has not opened when using Internet Explorer. Any advice on getting this removed?

Also use these;

Bookmark and use this; Mozilla Search Reset {web link} This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

Settings Guard for Firefox {web link} Detects and resets changes to settings that are frequently done by add-ons and application installers.

Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).
