stringy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If youve already uninstalled searchqu tool bar,just check these out next, c/Users/(UserName)/AppData/Roaming and remove searchqu c/drive/prog files/ firefox, plugins and remove searchqu windows/c type a search for ILIVID (thats what searchqu usually attatched to)and remove anything connected with this windows/c type a search for BANDOO (files attatched to ILIVID) and remove anything foundNext follow step 1 below,usually works but if for some reason doesnt work try the others.1 Open Mozilla Firefox. Go to Tools , Add-ons. Select Extensions. Choose Searchqu Toolbar, Bandoo Media, iLivid (if found) and click Uninstall button. Go to Tools , Options. Under the General tab reset the startup homepage or change it to google.com, etc. In the location bar, type about:config and hit Enter. In the filter at the top, type: keyword.URL Double click it and remove searchqu.com and replace it with http://www.google.com.2 Open firefox, go to help, restart firefox with addons disabled,click yes this starts firefox in safe mode then tick box retore firefox default settings3 Type- make google my homepage in your browser Click and drag the link Make Google my homepage in the adress bar to the Home icon on your browser and click yes.4 Uninstall firefox and reinstall(save bookmarks etc)5 Its hammer time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
