Hi, My name is John, and I'm a member of the Searchqu Support Team. I'm here to help :) When iLivid installs onto your pc it offered two basic installs, typical installation, which lists the add-on features such as searchqu homepage, and Custom installation, which allows you to select the add-ons that you wish to install. There's no need to worry if you did the typical install - this isn't a virus, nor malware, and there's no need to Perform a virus scan against it. Searchqu is only a browser setting and can be easily uninstalled by follow this link:http://www.ilivid.com/faq.htm look for the paragraph:" I would like to keep iLivid, but change my default search engine".

I installed jzip and ended up with this mess. How do I uninstall it completely, so it doesn't come back? I am using Firefox 9, and it doesn't show up in tools/extensions.

@giaudrot, if you wish to completely remove Searchqu it can be easily done by taking these steps :

1.Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > look for windows searchqu toolbar > Uninstall

2.To manually change your homepage please look at the following link: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page

3. In order to change the engine with other search bar Please enter the following link, http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Search%20bar?s=search+bar&r=0&as=s#w_switching-search-engines,

4. If you enter text into the Location bar that is not a valid Internet address (URL), Firefox will try to direct you to the location you intended. This article explains how use and customize this feature. http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Location%20bar%20search?s=address+bar&r=1&as=s

5. Close and open your Firefox browser and there you go, Searchqu will not appear on your browser any more…

We hope that this has been of help to you.
