Wannan tattunawa ta zama daɗaɗɗiya. Yi sabuwar tambaya idan ka na bukatar taimako.

Everytime I shut down my computer, the home page reverts to www.qooqlle.com, even though I have changed it to Google?! This is new, since I installed Windows 7 updates yesterday.

So, I installed some windows updates yesterday, and since re-starting my computer, some weird new search engine has installed itself as my homepage - www.qooqlle.com. I've tried deleting it from the available search engines in firefox, and have changed my homepage back to google several times, but every time I re-start, it goes back to qooqlle. I am running windows 7 home.

See:

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
