Have downloaded and loaded Mozilla several times and have run virus protector several times and cannot get rid of goonsearch.com. Any suggestions?
Goonsearch keeps reappearing as search tool after I enter a destination in Mozilla search window. I know it is a virus. I have run Spyware Doctor and downloaded Mozilla both several time and can't get rid of Goonsearch. Any suggestions?

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.

Ran malware scan with Spydoctor. Reloaded Mozilla and goonsearch.com virus back. Wouls system restore to earlier date when I didn't have virus work.
