When I open up Firefox, the main page is a kind of Russian languege page, I downloaded a file contains a few Russian programs, I try to uninstall them, but I can't find them in my uninstall panel, then if I open a new tab it will say :"The connection is not secure." Is there a way I can reset it to the default setting? Or how do I remove the Russian thing, is probably that program runes my connection

What is your computer system and Firefox?

Are you using Firefox with Russian language? Is the home page supposed to be Russian? What is the link?

What were those other programs you speak of?

No, no It wasn't suppose to be in Russian, it was English first, I download a program contains a bunch of Russian program including a browser looking program which is also in Russian, I don't read Russian someone recommended me to use it, I just click install then it brings me a bunch of Russian thing, is not some kind of virus tho, I think. I have two browsers in my computer, I open each of them it will bring up a Russian page, bacause of the Russian browser I think, how do I remove it or reset it to be Google or something

Previously I posted a question about the Firefox :" your connection is not secure." Here's the specific detail: my friend recommended me to use a Russian kind of game cheat, I've used it before but everything was fine. For this time, I need to install it somehow, is a bunch of Russian, I don't read it. I just translate it a bit then click install, then it brings me a bunch of recommanded programs in Russian language, just like normal programs contains some recommanded install programs, difference is, idk Russian. It includes a Russian browser kind of program, is all in Russian I don't read it, I don't use it, I uninstall every Russian program I can see in uninstall panel, but there are still some left i can't uninstall it, which includes the browser thing, if there is a way I can find them and uninstall them or delete or remove them permanently? Before this my Firefox homepage was Google, and everything was available, now when I open google or any other website, it says your connection is not secure, there is a back or advanced button. The program is in Russian I can't read it, but I believe is the reason why my default browser homepage or settings are changed. Im looking for a way how I can remove it or delete it, to make my network back in normal

There are two ways to go. The first is;

Start your Computer in safe mode. Then remove those programs.
