Why is PALIKAN linked to Firefox and how do I get rid of it?
I loaded SparkTrust PC Cleaner to rid my computer of malware. Since then Firefox opens with Palikan browser. The instructions I found on the Palikan web site did not work. I tried to uninstall Firefox with the aim to re-install but cannot do that either? Help please.
