I can't find sweetim, but everytime I log out of Firefox and back on, it shows up as the default keyword search. How can I fix this!!!!!
I have checked my installed programs, the list of add ons on internet explorer and the one on Firfox, and cannot find sweetim. However, when I try to do a keyword search in the location bar, I am only able to do it twice, until I switch to a new tab. After that, the keyword search no longer works, and gives me a message saying that I haven't typed in the URL correctly or it doesn't exist. There seems to be some connection to www.amazon.com, because everytime I open a new tab and try to do a keyword search in the location bar, amazon.com moves to the top of the small search window, and google moves down. I cannot search in the small window when amazon.com is up, because it won't let me overwrite. When I check the about:config, and reset to the defaults after 2 keyword test searches, it sets back to the sweetim.toolbar as the default again. I was just resetting Firefox, but I think I've done that 8 or 9 times now, and I still have the problem. What should I do next to fix this?

HI Noah: Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else. I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.
