How do I disengage the FoxFilter, which is blocking everything?

I wanted more information about ways to block some searches using Firefox. I came across a program called FoxFilter. I was interested in learning more about what the program did and didn't do and how it operates when I apparently installed it. At this point, I can't even respond to an email without the email being blocked. And the "examination" goes on forever. I want to disable FoxFilter ASAP.
