I HAVE HAD TO UNINSTALL "FIRE FOX", BECAUSE OF A TOOL BAR CALLED "MY WEB SEARCH". WHEN I UNISTALLED FIRE FOX, I WAS ABLE TO RE-INSTALL IT USING "GOOGLE" AS MY TOOL BAR. BUT WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE "MY WEB SEARCH" TOOL BAR CAME BACK, AND AGAIN I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP TAKING OVER FIRE FOX, EVEN WITH MY INTERNET OPTIONS. WHEN I CONTACTED "FIRE FOX'S" SUPPORT ON {1/17/2012}, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME! TO REMOVE WHAT THEY SAY IS A VIRUS! I THINK THIS IS STUPID, AND I HAVE UNINSTALLED " FIRE FOX ", AND I WILL NOT USE IT AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS....

Do a malware check with some malware scan 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 the database before doing a scan.

My Web Search is not a virus but is malware by reasonable definition. For information, Google or look in the "Search Firefox Help" box above.

You are getting it because of your browser activities - "Fun Web Products" would be my best guess.
