The first time DirectionsAce crap highjacked homepage, I got rid of it by restoring computer to an earlier time. This time that does not work. How do I get rid of this low life despicable intrusion? I don't want to download some other program that claims to work that might be as bad or worse than the DirectionsAce.

Start with this - http://it-help.info/how-to/toolbars/1268-how-to-remove-directionsace-effectively - to get rid of that garbage which is installed Windows. Skip that and it's liable to re-install itself the next time Windows is booted.

Then when it comes to using a "Removal Tool" - don't use the one recommended there. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software, which is what we here at SuMO recommend.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

There are a couple of articles I have come across that although slightly dated have specific instructions, for directionsace removal and use only free and reputable tools
