I think the question is self explanatory. But, When I installed Mcafee Total Protection a long while ago, I think it put a secure search thing into my search engine list, and when I remove it, the option to "Restore Defaults" becomes clickable and if I click it, Mcafee's Secure Search is brought back??? How can I fix this? Please help it's pretty annoying, as I don't like Mcafee.

P.S. "Resetting Firefox" didn't work.

After digging around a bit I found the solution, I had to delete "McSiteAdvisor" located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\searchplugins. Hope this helps anyone having a similar problem :)
