My firefox is hijacked by a software which changed my starting page to a webpage that they pointed to. The homepage in the option menu did not change, and no matter what I did, the starting page is pointed toward that page which I don't like.
My starting page is hijacked by a software which I have deleted. The option menu home page or starting page info is not changed, but I can't switch back the starting page to the webpage I wanted.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== I trying to install a webgame yesterday and I was cheated. Even I have already unstalled the software, the starting page cannot be changed back

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
