I have a "Virus" search engine (mystartsearch.com) who keeps coming back, when I restart Firefox, even after I reset the home page to default and removes it from the search engine list, like some god damn evil virus........... I have included a screendump of "about:config" and it's "taken" after I have reseted the homepage and removed the seach engine from the list. I would so appreciate if someone out there could help me get rid of this CRAP, once and for all.

With Regards

Hi, please work through Remove Mystartsearch virus (Easy Removal Guide) by Malware Tips.

It can be a difficult one, so it is important not to miss out any steps, especially check this: Right click on your Firefox shortcut icon, and select Properties. In the target line on the Shortcut tab, make sure that there are no links after the "firefox.exe".

After removing it, you may need to reset your home page and search - possibly also in about:config.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
