How do I remove the start search us.com search engine from firefox?
http://start.search.us.com/v/2/?guid={57D051C3-199E-4DE4-9AC7-5694B9254CC9}&serpv=5
When I open Firefox it reverts to the above linked search engine.
That link is to the search engine that has infected my firefox. I have tried several methods to get rid of it. I have gone into extensions and deleted anything that looked like it. I have gone into 'uninstall programs' and un-installed anything that was to do with it. I have ran my Norton 360 scan which has detected nothing. I downloaded Malware Bytes free anti-malware software scanner which detected nothing. I have reset the home page to default but this does nothing. I have tried re setting firefox, no result. Please can you help me remove this search engine off firefox, nothing seems to work and it is very irritating. Thanks

first type in address bar "about:config" then "I'll be careful" Find browser.search.defaultenginename and change it to Google

Dear PCFixHelp,
Your video does not demonstrate the correct way to uninstall Search.us.com. Your recommendation to create a new Firefox profile can remove Search.us.com, but it also leaves the user's other settings (e.g. bookmarks) stranded in the old profile.
The easiest way to uninstall Search.us.com is to use the official and free stand-alone uninstaller, ResetBrowsers.exe. Alternatively, users can use Windows Control Panel to uninstall the Search.us.com browser extensions, and then follow our uninstall instructions.
If all else fails, please email contactus at search.us.com for free uninstallation support by email. There is no need to purchase an app such as "Spyhunter" if you only wish to remove Search.us.com.
