Fire Fox/Google high-jacked by Safe Search/Yahoo. Is there a fix?

I have removed Safe Search from Programs (not sure how it installed there), un-installed Firefox, used Ccleaner to clean up, then re-installed Firefox. I find I am back where I started, a high-jacked Firefox by 'Safe Search' which seems to be a Yahoo program. Is there a way of permanently removing this irritating 'virus'?

Make sure you follow the complete "drill" for getting rid of that garbage or it might just re-install itself. https://malwaretips.com/blogs/safesearch-net-removal/
