I added bearshare.com and discovered it "became" my home page. I have Firefox and wish to have Google as my home page and search engine. The bearshare.com has been taken out of my program files, etc...It is still at the top of my computer. I am intermediate literate with computers and cannot seem to get rid of the bear search engine. As I turn on my internet the search engine bearshare appears as well as the bear icon and search in my toolbar area. Google is next to the address on the right for another search engine but I would like to eliminate bear share altogether please.

You can look for a "Mediabar" program under "Control Panel > Programs and features"
