Freelanthropy.com is suppose to be a search engine ( powered by Yahoo) which lets you generate donations to the charity of your, whenever you use it for searches. It has taken complete control of my browser, changing my homepage back to itself, every time I open Firefox. what can I do? I have removed it totally from PC, yet it still takes over the browser. AVG did not detect it, and I am wondering why. what must I do? about:config does not correct this.

No this did not work. Firefox browser keeps defaulting to the freelanthropy search engine homepage. It appears to be under the control of a source code from a remote server, which appears to have been hidden somewhere in my Firefox search configuration data. I say this because after I uninstalled Yahoo Updates, Yahoo Tool Bar, Conduit, and Incredimail toolbar from my Windows control panel, (not Firefox) I now get this message on the page:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/vhosts/freelanthropy.com/httpdocs/common/dbcon.php on line 40

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/vhosts/freelanthropy.com/httpdocs/old/dbutils.php on line 13

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /var/www/vhosts/freelanthropy.com/httpdocs/old/dbutils.php on line 13 Internal server error 1000

Query: select act.*,rev.*,anpo.uid from Account as act, AccountCache as rev, NPO as anpo where act.id != '1' and act.shortName = 'wfth' and act.npoId=rev.npoId and act.npoId=anpo.id

Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)


Where should I begin looking from this code, since I have uninstalled and deleted all freelanthropy files and folders from my Windows program files?
