Something has set my home page to http://www.searchqu.com/406 this was the problem with Windows Explorer and why I switched to Firefox. I have Macafee antiV and Superantispyware and Powersuite. UNnlike Explorer I can over type the URL and go to another URL directly, but if I drag a new home page over it reverts to Searchqu. The URL http://www.searchqu.com/406 keeps appearing???? How do I get rid of it?

Unrelated to your question but your flash plug-in is at 10.0 r45 and is out of date, it should be at 11.0.1.152 check and install newer version from

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Be careful when installing software or updates for/from Adobe and several other software providers, many are packaging crapware with their product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.

After you have updated your plug-in check all of them at

Also check http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions for potential problems.
