RE: How do I prevent Plus! Network from changing my search engine in FireFox?
Believe I found the issue - and without the argument. I just created this account in order to let you know of it.
- Completely uninstalled msgPlus!, which should have removed everything.
- Double and triple checked add/remove programs and it was clear.
- Firefox search bars continued to be hijacked into using the Live! web search, rather than my preference of Google no matter how many times I utilized about:config.
- Went into program files (x86).
- Found a folder, even after msgLive! was deleted that said "Messenger Plus! Live" or something to that effect.
- Went into it, and found the program that was causing the problem.
It appears that it just did not adequately uninstall all areas that it was in.
I'll be the first to admit that I installed the sponsor program, and the toolbar, due to my computer lagging and sending me all the way to the install screen in one too few clicks.
Hope this helps.
