bing search due to a malware after FF 30 update
After an automatic update to FF30, I have got the Bing Search Bar with flip page and malware/adware problems.
Some texts on the page have the green double underlines, when you mouse over these texts it pops up the OffersWizard banners, when clicked open new tab via rvzr-a.akamaihd, as well as NAVLinks.
AVG Internet Security 2013 and Spybot - Search & Destroy cannot help.
I cannot find what causes this. There is no clear help to get rid of this sticky malware, etc.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
