How do I remove Keyword URL from Important Modified Preferneces? It is aproduct of My Web Search and I don't want it.
I don't want My Web Search or any part of it on my computer. Keyword URL drives me nuts. My Web Search has hi-jacked my choice of search engine and it appears on the new tab. I thought I had got rid of it until Firefox updated to the newest version, and it is back. I believe My Web Search is malware. I spent all day yesterday trying to get rid of it adn it is still there.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Microsoft Security Essentials (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
