Suddenly I'm getting ConnectDLC toolbar as the default toolbar and can't get rid of it and also CONNECT is the the default web page and won't go away. How do I get rid of these?

hello, go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove the toolbar from there. Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Connect Toolbar is a browser hijacker that redirects to Connect Search. Connect Toolbar can also be found as Connect DLC Toolbar, etc...
