I often get a Google toolbar appearing in the middle of a Firefox web page. How do I delete all Google features from my Firefox browser?

Question

When using Firerfox to surf the web, instead of going to the address that I typed in the address bar, I often go to a blank page with a Google toolbar in the middle of the page.

Answer 1

You may have a malware problem if you get unrelated pop-ups opening or are redirected to unrequested websites.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />
