Cannot get rid of the 'SaverAddon' Adware that has attached itself to Firefox. Re-installing makes no difference.

I seem to have downloaded a program 'infected' with saverAddon malware. Tried everything to get rid of it but to no avail. None of the so-called Malware remover programs seems to do what they say. Still there. Only affects Firefox. IE not affected. Tried re-installing Firefox but it is still there. Any ideas please. At the moment not using Firefox as too risky/annoying etc.

See this - http://malwaretips.com/blogs/saveraddon-removal/

That is a multi-step removal process. Make sure you complete all the steps, some of which may not be easy. If you don't get rid of it all, it may just reinstall itself the next time that you start your computer.

And make note of how you may have inadvertently picked up that menace. Step 1 - item 3 SaverAddon, PriceMeter, Supra Savings, weDownload Manager, PureLead, Search Assist, Re-Markable, Zombie Alert, Wajam, Coupon Server, Lollipop, HD-Total-Plus, BlockAndSurf, Safe Saver, SupTab, Search Protect, Lollipop, Software Updated Version, DP1815, Video Player, Convert Files for Free, Plus-HD 1.3, BetterSurf, Trusted Web, PassShow, LyricsBuddy-1, PureLeads, Media Player 1.1, RRSavings, Feven Pro 1.2, Websteroids, Savings Bull, TidyNetwork, Search Snacks, MyPC Backup, Re-markit or other seemingly "free" program.

If you have one of those, that is the first thing to get rid of.
