I downloaded a program from the internet and included in the download was a search engine (mysearch) which I didnt want. However after I installed the program the mysearch engine also installed and now I cannot get rid of it. It has also set itself up as my homepage,everytime I change it keeps reinserts itself. How can I get rid of it ????????????????
moved to correct forum. goto add/remove programs to uninstall that search engine. goto internet options in control panel. goto to the general tab, highlight the current homepage & type in the homepage you want.
Thanks ddp the search engine is not displayed in add & remove programs I also changed homepage name pressed apply & ok but when I go on line again it reverts back to mysearch
i hate to say this and i could be wrong,but if it keeps changing your homepage to mysearch or any pages to mysearch then it sounds like you might have a browser redirect malware/virus. also you might wanna check plugins/add-ons for your browser as it might just be a setting or plugin hiding in there.
Download and run these removers and it should take care of mysearch. Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode to your Desktop. • Close all open programs and internet browsers. • Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool. • Click on Scan and then Clean buttons. • A log file will automatically open after the scan has finished. Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your Desktop. • Please close your security software to avoid potential conflicts. • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or 7, right-mouse click it and select Run as administrator. • The tool will open and start scanning your system. • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete, depending on your system's specifications. • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your Desktop and will automatically open.
