My Firefox haomepage has been cannibalized - please help.

My Mozilla firefox home page appears to have been cannibalized by this web site:
http://www.searchnu.com/406
Norton security software is installed. That triggers the following alert message on my desktop:
"An attempt to change your default page (Mozilla) has been successfully blocked."
Unfortunately, it appears that message is incorrect because the default page comes up as searchnu and not Mozilla Firefox.
I have also gone into the Mozilla settings, to ensure the default page is Mozilla, again without success.
Any help, advice, and/or assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Tom.

Hi Dron,
Many thanks for the very prompt reply to my problem with two possible solutions.
The first solution did not work for me, but the alternative approach offered in your second para above did. Thank you.
I am very grateful to you. Cheers!
Tom
p.s. Fwiw, searchnu tried to replace itself again after implementation of the alternative solution, which failed when I went into settings to check the default page back to Mozilla Firefox. Subsequent tests now show that to be a fully effective restoration of Mozilla on my desktop. Thanks again for all your help.

    How do I create a new Apple ID every time I try apple says I can't because that email has been taken I've done it multiple times please help me

    An email address can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time. You will have to remove it from the other ID or use a different email address.

  • My Microsoft Entourage has been stripped, please help!

    I logged on this morning and found that the whole of my Microsoft Entourage email program has been stripped. I've lost my address book, all my appointments in my calendar and all my notes. Is there any way I can get it all back. Is it still somewhere, hiding in my computer? Please help me someone!

    Dennis,
    I've provided Delia with a few things to try in the forum that you directed her to.
    As an aside, I would say that is not exactly the correct forum not least because it's not frequented that much.
    Far better to have directed her to the iMac Usage forum or even the OSX Usage forum where there is a lot of traffic and questions regarding issues with third party software are more common.
    Just a lil' ol' something for future reference

  • My blackberry Torch 9800 has been stolen,, Please Help

    Good day all,
    I need your help. My blackberry Torch 9800 has been stolen, I need to erase all my personal data and images.  If there is a way to do this, please advise me.
    I really need your help.
    Thanks

    If you had a third-party app, such as BlackBerry Protect installed, you could accomplish this.  If you have no such app installed, there is nothing you can do to wipe your device or track its location.
    Make sure you call Mobily to cancel your SIM card so the person who finds your phone cannot rack up charges on your account.
    I hope that helps you.

  • HT201365 My iPod touch has been stolen please help me

    How can I find my iPod touch 5th gen that has been stolen if it's turned off? Are they a way to at least tell me where the last place it was ? Is there no other way to track it down where it doesn't have to be connected to Internet ? Please help if you have any good answers for me thank you for your time

    Think about it logically...
    Every electronic device needs power to function. If they are turned off, nothing works.
    To track anything remotely, it needs some kind of wireless communications, which also require power.
    The only way you can find your powered off iPod touch is to physically look for it. Even if the iPod had power and Internet, it doesn't have GPS so any location gathered would be very approximate.

  • My premium account has been hacked please help!

    I was at the gym playing off my spotify and some other unknown device became available named CRAIG. They changed my account email address and password (previously only had been logging in with facebook). Now they've disconnected my facebook also. I'm in limbo and need this rectified immediately as the account has my phone and credit card details. I'm the phone with my bank now to change my credit card number this is a nightmare. My username was John007h I don't know what else I can do to help recover the account.  

    This has been incredibly frustrating that some random stranger has completely taken over my account. Security for Spotify is a joke.  There is no support number, I've tweeted spotifycares twice with no response and it takes far too long to get an email back concerning a compromised account (24-48 hours is a joke really). I've had to cancel and order a new credit card to prevent recurring charges on premium because I have no idea when and if I'll get my account back.  Total deal breaker for signing up for premium and I was ready to subscribe for the full price after the trial as I enjoyed the service so much. I'm extremely annoyed and frustrated by this whole ordeal. 

  • My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging Please Help

    My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging out lately it bounces up and down and just gets really blurry. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi,
    By "Bounces up and Down", do you mean this:
    The content of the screen drops down and about a third of the top of the screen is blank.
    When you press the home button or any icon, the content moves back to the top of the screen.
    If this is what you are seeing, it is intentional. It is meant as a way for you to be able to easily reach the icons at the top row of the screen.
    Double tap the home button. Do not press the button, just lightly tap it.
    All the content should drop down.
    Pressing the home button or any icon will shift the content back up again.
    This is a new feature designed for the larger screens in the 6 and 6+.

  • Os yosemite, cs6 ext, this is what I get when trying to open,Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). please help me

    Yesterday it was working fine, this morning I tried to open cs6 and I get the message above. Tried to put the file back in from my laptop ( copied on a thumb drive ) and when I close all the windows the files does not show up again, and ps6 shows me that same message above. I use an iMac 27" computer. I installed a plugin ( WhiteWindowworkaround.plugin1_0_6.zip ) for correcting my cursor problem. PLEASE HELP ME.......

    The first thing I would try would be to manually reset the preferences. If that fails, try uninstalling the plugin and see if the problem goes away.
    In case you don't know how to reset:
    Reset Preferences
    1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
    or
    2) Move the Folder. See:

  • HT1212 My iPhone has been disabled,please help!?

    i have tried so many times to write down my password,its in digits,but its not working anymore, i have to try in 50 minutes now. is there any way i can et the password? maybe through  my apple id? please help!

    Restore your phone from backup on the last computer you synced with, while the passcode was enabled. This will remove the passcode. If you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode in order to restore it & remove the passcode.

  • My premium account has been hacked, please help ASAP!

    Apparently my Spotify account has been hacked last night and the password & email address have been changed so I can't reset my password. My hacked account is "mrouhiai"  I created this new account "mrouhiai_2" to post this message to this forum. I have never shared my account with anyone, and my email has not been compromised. I can prove my identity in many ways if necessary.  This new account I've just created is using my old email from the original account.  You should be able to verify these details easily. Case #: 03363771

    Same here, today somebody changed my account norre01 e.mail address. Now it is [email protected] and I can't reset my password anymore (I tried, didn't got any e-mail). I still can access my account through Facebook login I changed my FB password, their security check didn't find any abnormal activity on my FB account.I sent also message to Customer Support, but probably it takes time. Kind regards PS! Off-topic question; is it possible to recover people/artist whom i following list?
