After removing force https can I get Firefox to quit redirecting me from google classic to google SSL?

Question

I was using Force https, and have since removed it. I am being redirected, however, to google SSL and cannot load the google classic page. I do not want to use SSL (https://encrypted.google.com). How do I get Firefox to direct me to the correct website as I enter it (www.google.com)? I have tried clearing my cache and cookies, as well as reading suggestions on google's forums. Help please? Thanks!

Answer 1

Sounds like you picked up some re-direct Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.<br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' <br />These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''
