home page saving
I recently downloaded from jzip. com to enable me to view rar files.Since the download my hompage has changed to http://search.jzip.com/ and I am unable to change my home page at all. I have disabled my AVG addons and AVG completely, changed my home page but when I close Firefox and bring it back again my home page has reverted to the jzip again. This is not happening on explorer, that I changed back and it has stayed fine.

jZip has hijacked your home page setting. You will need to completely uninstall it if you want to be able to change your home page. Follow these steps:
- Open Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
- Locate the entry for jZip and uninstall it.
- Also locate any entries with names Windows jZip or Windows jZip Toolbar and uninstall all of them.
- Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Program Files\ folder.
- Delete any folders with the name jZip or Windows jZip or Windows jZip Toolbar.
- Open Firefox.
- Go to Tools > Add-ons menu
- Select the Extensions tab
- If you see an entry for jZip Toolbar, uninstall it.
- Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
- Accept the warning
- In the Filter text box, type jzip
- You will be presented with a list of entries containing jzip.
- On each entry, right click and select Reset.
- Restart Firefox.
Refer to this article on how to set your desired home page: How to set the home page.
You can install WinRAR or 7-zip to view rar files.

A better alternative to JZip is 7Zip, an open-source application that does not add all the crap add-ons and change your set-up (and the one that I use) is available from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/
