[QUOTE="freeR2, post: 107213, member: 6128"] Hi. Thank-you. Done. Please see the attached file. It did not want to attach as a .txt file (with a number only for its file name) so the contents have been copied and pasted into the attached Word doc. While fbdownloader no longer automatically becomes the default search engine, it still became the home page in Firefox on boot up. Any thoughts please on what to do next? Update: Upon rebooting a second time, fbdownloader no longer hijacks the home page in Firefox (nor the separate search engine on the task bar). This has been double-checked by rebooting a third time, where neither the home page nor the default search engine were hijacked by fbdownloader. Thank-you very much. What should be done next to double-check everything else please? Shall another scan be done with Adwcleaner, OTL and/or JRT? Please advise. [/QUOTE]
