Firefox redirects all my Google searches, and Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware and SuperAntiSpyware cannot find the virus; I suspect is a Java issue

My computer has a virus that makes Google searches in Firefox be redirected to other sites - mostly search engines. I've used McAfee, Malwarebytes and others, and I cannot find the solution. I suspect that the virus is hiding itself as a program, using Java to deploy. Any help will be more than helpful!

Well your Flixxy.com stuff isn't related to it. What exactly you are looking for is here.
"firefox" > options > options
Under the General Tab, specify your home page in this case google.com.
If you are facing trouble with the home page being reset every time, then try starting firefox in safe mode.
firefox > Help > restart with add-on's disabled
Cheers!

  • I had to reset Firefox and now cannot find the calendar, how do I get it back?

    I was removing files associated with web.longfintuna.com from my PC. I then reset Firefox. When I open Firefox, all my email, bookmarks.etc. are there. However I cannot find the calendar. I had it before and now cannot locate it.

    When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

  • HT1386 After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.  Need help!!

    After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.

    You don't.
    You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
    And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

  • Setting up my new Airport Extreme and it cannot find the IP address?  The modem works fine when I bypass the Airport.

    MyComputerGuyJo:
    I just wanted to add what Apple Support walked me through. Worked perfectly. Similar to some of the posts here. This assumes you have finished the setup of the Airport using DHCP to obtain the IP automatically from Comcast and it says the IP is invalid.
    Power off\on Sequence
    1, Power off Comcast Modem. Remove Battery back up, if it has one. Disconnect the coax cable.
    2. Power off Airport Extreme
    3. Let both sit for 3 minutes.
    4. Reconnect coax cable to Comcast modem and replace battery and power up.
    5. Wait a minute or two to make sure the Comcast modem is completely up and then Power on the Airport Extreme.

    Freyfisher: I had the same problem whenn I switched to the Airport Extreme yesterday.  Here is what I did:
    1:  uplugged modem for 30 sec. and detached all ethernet cables.  Plugged back in and reattached airport extreme cable after all lights were solid on the modem. Then, I went into Airport Utility and selected, "Base Station"> "restore default settings".  Then" Base Station"> Restart.  Then go through setup assistant again.  If no luck, try setting IPv4 to 10.0.1.2, subnet to 255.255.255.0, router to 10.0.1.1. IPv6 set to OFF if having trouble.  DNS adresses: 75.75.75.75, 75.75.76.76, search domain hsd1.ST.comcast.net where "ST" is your two-letter State abbrev.  Hope this helps someone....

  • I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio 7 and I cannot find the serial number. It's suppose to be in one of the installation booklets. I'm not sure which one. Could you help me?

    I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio that i bought back in 2008, and I cannot find the serial number. I think I barely remember running into this problem before with this application. When i use the installation disc it tells me that the serial number is located in one of the installation booklets, and it doesn't explain to me which one. Can you help me?
    Thank You!

  • Itunes only recognises various artists instead of th dj who mixed the cd and therefore cannot find the artwork. Is there any way to solve this problem?

    itunes only recognises various artists and not the dj who mixed cd, and therefore cannot find the artwork as a result. Is there anyway to solve this as I have quite a few cd's with the same title in this series?

    I'm happy to report that Sound Studio has corrected its part of the problem, and an updated version is available on its web site: freeverse.com/soundstudio/
    I also discovered that attempts to adjust individual song volumes in the Get Info menu won't work if the Sound Check option is selected in Preferences (duh!).
    Further good news is Apple's announcement of an arrangement to offer unprotected versions of BMI music in the iTunes store for an extra 30 cents per song. It would be well worth it, in my opinion, if all the music companies agreed to the arrangement, thereby streamlining the task of transferring problem songs to editing programs like Sound Studio.
    One minor glitch remains. To differentiate between original and edited versions of a song, I usually append a number to the name. But when I import the edited version back into the iTunes library, iTunes automatically changes the name back to the original. I can tell the difference by referring to other clues in the library file, but not in the abbreviated iPod menu. I could delete the unedited version from the library or, better, create playlistys consisting of only the edited versions.
    Thanks to all who contributed to this discussion. I hope others benefit from it as I did.
    P.S.: I did download Max, which works fine for its intended purposes.

  • I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

    I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

    I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
    If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud.

  • I just bought my macbook a few hours ago...and i cannot find the iMessage icon

    i bought my macbook pro a couple hours ago with the new software(mountain lion) and i cannot find the imessage icon...can someone please tell me where i can find it or what i should do??

    Open your hard drive and then go to the /Applications folder (this is also available in the Finder sidebar by default), and then scroll down to locate the program.
    The program is simply called "Messages" and not "iMessages" (no "i"), so if you sort the folder's contents alphabetically it will be next to Mail and other "M" applications.

    Hello r555,
    Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for visiting our forum.  I am very sorry to hear that it has not always been easy for you to receive your Gamers Club Unlocked bonus when trading in games.  I'll be happy to talk to you about your experience.
    I get the impression you are quite familiar with the trade-in process and how the bonus is applied, and it is disappointing to hear that a store associate wouldn't attempt to complete that process.  I will be sending you a private message so we can get some more specific information regarding which store you were at as well as the trade in question where you did not receive the bonus.  Please watch for a message from me shortly.
