RE: How do I prevent Plus! Network from changing my search engine in FireFox?
I'm sorry to say but I too have *exactly* the same problem and I did not check any boxes allowing the installation of anything other than Plus. Here's what I've done so far:
I've reset my default search engine to what it should be as Plus Network had hijacked that.
I deleted it from my list of search engines. It'd hijacked that.
I've removed it from my Add-ons Manager. I didn't say it could add anything in the first place.
I've removed all traces from Add/Remove programs - including Plus itself.
Unfortunately, Plus Network is STILL hijacking Firefox. That is to say, when I type in address bar, I'm usually directed to Google. Currently, I'm directed to Plus Network.
As I've already uninstalled all traces of the sponsors and Plus, I can only assume that this particular update/sponsor has somehow managed to embed itself directly into Firefox.
Some help would be very appreciated.
EDIT: I've just uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, losing all of my settings in the process, but at least it got rid of the stupid Plus Network.
