I can't get rid of the search enginge Encrypt search. I have followed the steps to Remove, but it keeps coming back and not letting me use Google. Help!
I have tried repeatedly, following Firefox's instructions to remove Encrypt search as a search engine. It is terrible! I want google. Even when I select google only Encrypt is used. Please help me get rid of Encrypt forever!
Thanks,
Elaine

Hi Elaine,
Your system details show that the nuisance is installed in :
Options => Add-ons => Extensions, so , removing it there is the first thing you should do.
And look for any other unfamilar or suspicious looking extensions as well.
Do the same in Windows Control Panel.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans (better safe than sorry) :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
