how do I remove search pile?
Recently my home page has been hijacked by Search Pile. I have checked add/remove programs, but there is nothing there. I have run my anti-virus scan (AVG) but it found nothing. I have reset my Firefox home page (several times) but it keeps coming back. How do I get it completely removed from my system?

See:
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
