Isisombululo esikhethiwe

I had the same problem. After doing everything to remove scanquery form registry and file locations I also had to change firefox config setting "keyword.URL". (Type about:config in the address bar, look for "keyword.URL", double-click and clear its value, which is a link to scanquery web site)

Hi thanks for the tip on the scanquery.com url bar redirection, the solution looks like it in the about:config and the keyword.url reset for the redirecting issues.
