These nasty little home pages have nestled themselves into firefox. IE, is immune though - had my first blue screen of death today after uninstaaling bull gaurd, installing kapersky, starting firefox in 'safe 'mode', despite doing this searchnu searchqu remains persistent. Installed Spydoctor - this failed to detect it. Anyone else got rid of this pain from firefox? |

Never heard of it to be honest, but I dont use Firefox. You could try running HiJackThis and locating the registry keys and files responsible. If it's a virus-thing, there really ought to be some information on removal from perhaps Symantec or the like |

Got microsoft security essentials and malwarebytes. |

@Malice - cheers that worked @GfK, thx for the suggestion - got a crapola spydoctor problem that did not do what it said on the tin. EVEN BETTER than that - the trial version detected 10 or so things that required 'addressing'. The installed one seemed to find nadda. AND searchnu still persisted in Firefox untill an uninstall -re-install. Hijackthis found it in Chrome though :~) |

Hijackthis is good but you got to be careful with it. Not everything it flags up actually needs attention and some things should be left well alone. |

Get SpyBot, it's a bit more focused towards internet use (bad cookies, malware URLs etc.). |
