can not remove search engines from the search bar setting. The remove button is Not working!
I'm trying to remove a bunch of unwanted search engines so I can establish Google as my main search engine. I have clicked on settings and set Google as my main search engine, but that didn't work. When I click to remove all other search engine the Remove button doesn't work and won't do anything. Not even the restart to default settings button is functioning. I need to fix the problem quick because it is locked on a virus search setting (it download itself in an update) and every time I use the search bar it downloads so many viruses it crashes my computer. Help Please!!!

Use this add-on to reset your search
Sounds like you have picked up some Malware.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
