After I downloaded the latest version of AIM, my Firefox search bar keeps changing to Aol search. I loathe it. Everyday I do the about:config and change it back to Google and everyday it changes back to Aol! What can i do since changing it to Google obviously doesn't work

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Hi Roxanne,

Have you scanned your computer recently for malware?

Download this tiny program called Gooredfix from here http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/GooredFix.exe

Once downloaded, close all Firefox windows.

Open the GooredFix.exe file, and in the little black box that appears, press 1 and enter.

A white window will pop up. See if anything is found under the heading ==Suspect Goored Entries==. If so, open the GooredFix.exe file again and press 2 and enter.

Open up FireFox and see if your still having issues.

Also best to check your installed programs and uninstall anything you don't want in there. Also, do the Malwarebytes scan and virus scanning in Safe Mode if possible.

Let me know if that helps--if not we'll try something else.
