I have accidently added a program called Login Faster. Login faster hides in my pc and I don't have the knowledge to find it. I have added a screenshot. Also I right clicked the image and copied the image address but i can't find that address on my laptop. How do I get rid of these unwanted stuff? ( I am 69 years of age I'm not a computer whizz kid like you. So please be kind and make your instructions simple.) http://search.searchlf.com/content/Images/attribution/loginfaster.png

Hi, first look in the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Extensions and Plugins. If you can see Login Faster; remove it, or set to Never Activate, then restart Firefox.

Another thing you can do, is to search for the malware in your PC's search box. Also look in your PC's Programs (Control Panel > Programs and Features) - if it's there; uninstall it.

You can also check your Firefox Desktop shortcut for corruption: Right click on it > Properties, and in Target, make sure there is no sign of the malware. If there is, delete that part of it. Or if it's easier, you can just delete it and recreate a new shortcut. More: Wrong home page opens when I start Firefox - How to fix.

If it's still there, you can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

After removal you may need to reset your home page and search, which you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.
