My firefox homepage is being hijacked and sent to Qooqlle.com
My firefox homepage is being hijacked and sent to Qooqlle.com Every time I reset the homepage (under TOOLS), and then reboot the computer, it returns to qooqlle.com This also happened with Internet Explorer, but a program called StopZilla managed to repair that. However, Stopzilla cannot fix Firefox.

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.

Thanks, but ...
I have AVG antivirus running, as well as Windows Defender. I have run Malwarebytes several times, and it has found nothing. I have run PC Registry cleaner, and after it cleaned everything, the problem still remains. I have run several other programs and none of them can find the problem.
